Markos 11:1 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 11:1

And when they came nigh to Jerusalem
The Syriac and Ethiopic versions read, "when he came nigh"; that is, Jesus; though not without his disciples, nor the multitude:

unto Bethphage and Bethany;
two places so called, near Jerusalem: Bethphage began where Bethany ended, and reached to the city itself. The Vulgate Latin only makes mention of Bethany; (See Gill on Matthew 21:1).

At the Mount of Olives;
near which, the above places were:

he sendeth forth two of his disciples;
perhaps Peter and John.

Markos 11:1 In-Context

1 1 And when they draw near to Yerushalayim at Beit-Pagey and Beit-Anyah near the Mount of Olives, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach sends two of his talmidim,

2 And says to them, Go into the shtetl ahead of you, and ofen ort (immediately) as you enter it, you will find an AYIR (colt, ZECHARYAH 9:9) tied there, on which no one of Bnei Adam yet has ever sat; untie it and bring it here. [BAMIDBAR 19:2, DEVARIM 21:3, SHMUEL ALEF 6:7]

3 And if anyone says to you, Why are you doing this? You say, HaAdon has need of it and will send it here again.

4 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach’s talmidim left and found an AYIR (ZECHARYAH 9:9) tied at the shaar (gate) outside on the rekhov (street). And they untied him.

5 And some by-standers were saying to them, What are you doing untying the AYIR?
