Markos 11:5 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 11:5

And certain of them that stood there
The Ethiopic version reads, who walked there; who were either standing hard by, or walking about the place, being inhabitants of it; and either the owners of the colt, or their servants, or both:

said unto them, what do ye loosing the colt?
What do ye mean by it? do you intend to take the colt away? what business have you with it? what right have you to do so? and what is your end in it?

Markos 11:5 In-Context

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?
6 And the talmidim spoke to them just as Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach had instructed them. And the by-standers permitted them.
7 And the talmidim brought the AYIR to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, and they lay upon it their garments, and he sat upon it.
