Marc 11:2

Listen to Marc 11:2
2 Et leur dit: Allez à la bourgade qui est devant vous; et aussitôt que vous y serez entrés, vous trouverez un ânon attaché, que personne n'a encore monté; détachez-le, et amenez-le-moi.

Marc 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.

Marc 11:2 In-Context

1 Comme ils approchaient de Jérusalem, de Bethphagé et de Béthanie, près du mont des Oliviers, Jésus envoya deux de ses disciples,
2 Et leur dit: Allez à la bourgade qui est devant vous; et aussitôt que vous y serez entrés, vous trouverez un ânon attaché, que personne n'a encore monté; détachez-le, et amenez-le-moi.
3 Et si quelqu'un vous dit: Pourquoi faites-vous cela? dites que le Seigneur en a besoin, et aussitĂ´t il l'enverra ici.
4 Ils s'en allèrent donc, et ils trouvèrent l'ânon qui était attaché dehors devant la porte, entre les deux chemins; et ils le détachèrent.
5 Et quelques-uns de ceux qui étaient là leur dirent: Pourquoi détachez-vous cet ânon?
