Mark 11:7 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 11:7

And they brought the colt to Jesus
Where he was,

and cast their garments on him;
their clothes to be instead of a saddle, for Christ to sit upon:

and he sat upon him;
or "Jesus rode on him", as the Syriac version renders it. The Ethiopic version reads, "they made him to mount him"; that is, the disciples assisted him in getting upon it, and having mounted it, he sat on it without any trouble, though it had never been backed before, and rode on his way to Jerusalem; (See Gill on Matthew 21:7).

Mark 11:7 In-Context

5 The bystanders said to them, "What are you doing, untying that colt?"

6 They gave the answer Yeshua had told them to give, and they let them continue.

7 They brought the colt to Yeshua and threw their robes on it, and he sat on it.

8 Many people carpeted the road with their clothing, while others spread out green branches which they had cut in the fields.

9 Those who were ahead and those behind shouted, "Please! Deliver us!"m "Blessed is he who comes in the name of ADONAI!"
