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 He said to them, "Go into the village ahead of you. As you enter it, you will find a young donkey tied there. No one has ever sat on it. Untie it, and bring it.

3 If anyone asks you what you are doing, say that the Lord needs it. That person will send it here at once."

4 The disciples found the young donkey in the street. It was tied to the door of a house. As they were untying it,

5 some men standing there asked them, "Why are you untying that donkey?"

6 The disciples answered them as Jesus had told them. So the men let them go.
