John 12:14 Meaning and Commentary

John 12:14

And Jesus, when he had found a young ass
Which he sent his disciples for, to a neighbouring village, and they brought to him:

sat thereon, as it is written;
in ( Zechariah 9:9 ) though some part of the words seems to be taken out of ( Isaiah 62:11 ) ; (See Gill on Matthew 21:5); and so Nonnus paraphrases it here, "that it might be fulfilled which Esaias said".

John 12:14 In-Context

12 in crastinum autem turba multa quae venerat ad diem festum cum audissent quia venit Iesus Hierosolyma
13 acceperunt ramos palmarum et processerunt obviam ei et clamabant osanna benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini rex Israhel
14 et invenit Iesus asellum et sedit super eum sicut scriptum est
15 noli timere filia Sion ecce rex tuus venit sedens super pullum asinae
16 haec non cognoverunt discipuli eius primum sed quando glorificatus est Iesus tunc recordati sunt quia haec erant scripta de eo et haec fecerunt ei
