馬太福音 21:7 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 21:7

And brought the ass and the colt
To Jesus, as Mark and Luke add, and who only make mention of the colt: both were undoubtedly brought; the colt being unloosed and taken away, the ass, its dam, followed after:

and put on them their clothes;
their loose upper garments, to be instead of saddles and trappings, and that Christ might sit thereon with ease and decency: the other evangelists say, that they cast their garments on the colt; and the Syriac version here reads, "they put their garments on the colt, and Jesus rode upon it": but as both were brought, it is clear from hence, that their clothes were put upon both; not knowing which Christ would choose to ride on. And it should seem, that it was not unusual to put garments on asses to ride on; for the Targumist on ( Judges 5:10 ) represents the princes of Israel as riding upon asses, strewed or saddled with all kind (Nyrwyu) , of "painted garments". The Persic version, without the least colour of authority from the original text, renders it, "and Jesus put his own garment on the colt, and sat thereon"; which is ridiculous, as well as contrary to truth:

and they sat him thereon,
or "on them": meaning either on the ass and colt, that is, on one of them, or both successively, or on the clothes they put upon them.

馬太福音 21:7 In-Context

5 要 對 錫 安 的 居 民 ( 原 文 是 女 子 ) 說 : 看 哪 , 你 的 王 來 到 你 這 裡 , 是 溫 柔 的 , 又 騎 著 驢 , 就 是 騎 著 驢 駒 子 。
6 門 徒 就 照 耶 穌 所 吩 咐 的 去 行 ,
7 牽 了 驢 和 驢 駒 來 , 把 自 己 的 衣 服 搭 在 上 面 , 耶 穌 就 騎 上 。
8 眾 人 多 半 把 衣 服 鋪 在 路 上 ; 還 有 人 砍 下 樹 枝 來 鋪 在 路 上 。
9 前 行 後 隨 的 眾 人 喊 著 說 : 和 散 那 ( 原 有 求 救 的 意 思 , 在 此 是 稱 頌 的 話 ) 歸 於 大 衛 的 子 孫 ! 奉 主 名 來 的 是 應 當 稱 頌 的 ! 高 高 在 上 和 散 那 !
