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 They went and found a colt tied to a door at the street corner and untied it.
5 Some of those standing there said, "What are you doing untying that colt?"
6 The disciples replied exactly as Jesus had instructed them, and the people let them alone.
7 They brought the colt to Jesus, spread their coats on it, and he mounted.
8 The people gave him a wonderful welcome, some throwing their coats on the street, others spreading out rushes they had cut in the fields.
