Marcos 11:2

2 e disse-lhes: Ide � aldeia que está defronte de vós; e logo que nela entrardes, encontrareis preso um jumentinho, em que ainda ninguém montou; desprendei-o e trazei-o.

Marcos 11:2 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 11:2

And saith unto them, go your way into the village
Either of Bethany or of Nob. The Ethiopic version renders it "the city", and so reads a copy of Stephens's: some have thought the city of Jerusalem is intended, but without any reason; (See Gill on Matthew 21:9);

over against you.
The Syriac and Persic versions read, "over against us": the sense is the same; for Christ and his disciples were together: this suits with either of the above mentioned places:

and as soon as ye be entered into it;
are come to the town's end, and to one of the first houses in it,

ye shall find a colt tied:
Matthew says, "an ass tied, and a colt with her", ( Matthew 21:2 ) ; both no doubt true:

whereon never man sat;
which had never been backed and broke, and which makes it the more wonderful, that Christ should choose to ride upon it, and that that should quietly carry him:

loose him, and bring him;
that is, away to me.

Marcos 11:2 In-Context

1 Ora, quando se aproximavam de Jerusalém, de Betfagé e de Betânia, junto do Monte das Oliveiras, enviou Jesus dois dos seus discípulos

2 e disse-lhes: Ide � aldeia que está defronte de vós; e logo que nela entrardes, encontrareis preso um jumentinho, em que ainda ninguém montou; desprendei-o e trazei-o.

3 E se alguém vos perguntar: Por que fazeis isso? respondei: O Senhor precisa dele, e logo tornará a enviá-lo para aqui.

4 Foram, pois, e acharam o jumentinho preso ao portão do lado de fora na rua, e o desprenderam.

5 E alguns dos que ali estavam lhes perguntaram: Que fazeis, desprendendo o jumentinho?
