Mark 11:4 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 11:4

And they went their way
The two disciples went to the village, where Christ sent them, without objecting any difficulties that might present, in the execution of these orders:

and found the colt tied by the door without;
in the street, fastened to the door of the owner's house, at the town's end:

in a place where two ways met;
to go into and out of the village; at the corner house, where two ways met; so that the place was very public, and such an affair could not be transacted, without being seen:

and they loose him;
as soon as ever they came to the place, they immediately began to untie the colt, and were going away with him.

Mark 11:4 In-Context

2 saying to them, "Go into the village over there. As soon as you enter it, you will find tied up there a colt that no one has ridden. Untie it and bring it here.

3 If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?' say, ‘Its master needs it, and he will send it back right away.'"

4 They went and found a colt tied to a gate outside on the street, and they untied it.

5 Some people standing around said to them, "What are you doing, untying the colt?"

6 They told them just what Jesus said, and they left them alone.
