Luc 19:30

30 Allez à la bourgade qui est devant vous, et quand vous y serez entrés, vous trouverez un ânon attaché, que personne n'a jamais monté; détachez-le, et me l'amenez.

Luc 19:30 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 19:30

Saying, go ye into the village over against [you]
What village this was, is not said by any of the evangelists; it seems to be either Bethany, or Nob; and rather the latter, since the village of Bethany was fifteen furlongs, or near two miles from Jerusalem, ( John 11:18 ) and therefore must have been passed by Christ; whereas the tract called Bethany, at the Mount of Olives where Christ now was, was but a sabbath day's journey, or about a mile, ( Luke 24:50 ) compared with ( Acts 1:12 ) . (See Gill on Matthew 21:2)

in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied:
in ( Matthew 21:2 ) it is said, an ass, and a colt with her; which agrees with the prophecy in ( Zechariah 9:9 ) and which, no doubt, was matter of fact: nor does Mark and Luke contradict it, though they do not express it:

whereon yet never man sat, loose him, and bring [him] hither;
for it seems that Christ stayed at the above place, until the disciples went and fetched it.

Luc 19:30 In-Context

28 Et après avoir dit cela, Jésus s'en alla plus avant, montant à Jérusalem.
29 Jésus, étant arrivé près de Bethphagé et de Béthanie, vers la montagne appelée des Oliviers, il envoya deux de ses disciples, en disant:
30 Allez à la bourgade qui est devant vous, et quand vous y serez entrés, vous trouverez un ânon attaché, que personne n'a jamais monté; détachez-le, et me l'amenez.
31 Et si quelqu'un vous demande pourquoi vous le détachez, vous lui direz: Parce que le Seigneur en a besoin.
32 Les envoyés s'en allèrent, et trouvèrent comme il leur avait dit.
