Luke 19:35

35 So they brought it to Jesus, threw their coats on the colt's back, and put Jesus on 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 As they were untying it, its owners came out and asked the followers, "Why are you untying our colt?"
34 The followers answered, "The Master needs it."
35 So they brought it to Jesus, threw their coats on the colt's back, and put Jesus on it.
36 As Jesus rode toward Jerusalem, others spread their coats on the road before him.
37 As he was coming close to Jerusalem, on the way down the Mount of Olives, the whole crowd of followers began joyfully shouting praise to God for all the miracles they had seen.
