Luke 19:35

35 They brought the donkey to Jesus, put their coats on it, and helped Jesus onto it.

Luke 19:35 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 19:35

And they brought him to Jesus
That is, the colt:

and they cast their garments upon the colt;
that is, the disciples, who brought him to Jesus; the Persic version here, as in ( Matthew 21:7 ) renders it very wrongly, "Jesus put his own garment on its back, and sat on it"; it follows,

and they set Jesus thereon;
in order to ride upon him, as he did to Jerusalem.

Luke 19:35 In-Context

33 While they were untying the young donkey, its owners asked them, "Why are you untying the donkey?"
34 The disciples answered, "The Lord needs it."
35 They brought the donkey to Jesus, put their coats on it, and helped Jesus onto it.
36 As he was riding along, people spread their coats on the road.
37 By this time he was coming near the place where the road went down the Mount of Olives. Then the whole crowd of disciples began to praise God for all the miracles they had seen.
