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 and said to them, "Go to the town you can see there. When you enter it, you will quickly find a colt tied, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here to me.

3 If anyone asks you why you are doing this, tell him its Master needs the colt, and he will send it at once. "

4 The followers went into the town, found a colt tied in the street near the door of a house, and untied it.

5 Some people were standing there and asked, "What are you doing? Why are you untying that colt?"

6 The followers answered the way Jesus told them to answer, and the people let them take the colt.
