Mark 11:6 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 11:6

And they said unto them
The very express words,

even as Jesus had commanded:
not that these were the words they said, but "the Lord hath need of him": upon which they said no more, were satisfied and contented, that they should untie the colt, and take it with them:

and they let them go;
and the colt with them, very freely; (See Gill on Matthew 21:6).

Mark 11:6 In-Context

4 And they went away and found a colt tied at a door outside in the street, and they untied it.

5 And some of those who were standing there said to them, "What are you doing, untying the colt?"

6 So they told them, just as Jesus had said, and they allowed them [to take it].

7 And they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, and he sat on it.

8 And many [people] spread their cloaks on the road, and others [spread] leafy branches [they] had cut from the fields.
