Marcos 11:2 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 11:2

And saith unto them, go your way into the village
Either of Bethany or of Nob. The Ethiopic version renders it "the city", and so reads a copy of Stephens's: some have thought the city of Jerusalem is intended, but without any reason; (See Gill on Matthew 21:9);

over against you.
The Syriac and Persic versions read, "over against us": the sense is the same; for Christ and his disciples were together: this suits with either of the above mentioned places:

and as soon as ye be entered into it;
are come to the town's end, and to one of the first houses in it,

ye shall find a colt tied:
Matthew says, "an ass tied, and a colt with her", ( Matthew 21:2 ) ; both no doubt true:

whereon never man sat;
which had never been backed and broke, and which makes it the more wonderful, that Christ should choose to ride upon it, and that that should quietly carry him:

loose him, and bring him;
that is, away to me.

Marcos 11:2 In-Context

1 Entrada triunfal de Jesús
Mientras Jesús y los discípulos se acercaban a Jerusalén, llegaron a las ciudades de Betfagé y Betania, en el monte de los Olivos. Jesús mandó a dos de ellos que se adelantaran.

2 —les dijo—.

3 Si alguien les pregunta: “¿Qué están haciendo?” simplemente digan: “El Señor lo necesita y él lo devolverá pronto”».

4 Los dos discípulos salieron y encontraron el burrito en la calle, atado frente a la puerta principal.

5 Mientras lo desataban, algunos que estaban allí les preguntaron: «¿Qué están haciendo, por qué desatan ese burrito?».
