Mateo 21:6

6 Y los discípulos fueron, e hicieron como Jesús les mandó

Mateo 21:6 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 21:6

And the disciples went
The two disciples, as the Arabic version reads, to the village over against them; and, as Mark says, "found the colt tied to the door without, in a place where two ways met": the house was just at the entrance of the village, at the door of which, on the outside in the street, was the colt fastened, where were two ways of going into, and coming out of the town; so that it was a public place; the colt was easily seen, nor could it well be taken away without being observed, as it was by the owners of it: and

did as Jesus commanded them;
they loosed the colt; and whereas whilst they were loosing it, the owners of it asked them, what they meant by so doing? they returned for answer what Christ had directed them to say; upon which they were satisfied, and let them go with it; see ( Mark 11:4-6 ) . This is a very considerable instance of the faith of the disciples in Christ, and their ready and cheerful obedience to him; who might have objected the appearance of theft, the scandal that might be brought upon them, and the trouble they might be exposed to hereby; but they make no hesitation, but go and do as he had ordered them; and in which, they are worthy of the imitation of all the followers of Jesus.

Mateo 21:6 In-Context

4 Y todo esto fue hecho, para que se cumpliera lo que fue dicho por el profeta, que dijo

5 Decid a la hija de Sión: He aquí, tu Rey viene a ti, manso, y sentado sobre una asna, y sobre un pollino, hijo de bestia de yugo

6 Y los discípulos fueron, e hicieron como Jesús les mandó

7 Y trajeron el asna y el pollino, y pusieron sobre ellos sus mantos; y se sentó sobre ellos

8 Y la multitud, que era muy numerosa, tendía sus mantos en el camino; y otros cortaban ramas de los árboles, y las tendían por el camino
