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 He said to them, "Go to the village ahead of you. Just as you enter it, you will find a donkey's colt tied there. No one has ever ridden it. Untie it and bring it here.

3 Someone may ask you, 'Why are you doing this?' If so, say, 'The Lord needs it. But he will send it back here soon.' "

4 So they left. They found a colt out in the street. It was tied at a doorway. They untied it.

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

6 They answered as Jesus had told them to. So the people let them go.
