Luca 19:30

30 Andate nella borgata dirimpetto, nella quale entrando, troverete legato un puledro d’asino, sopra il quale non è mai montato alcuno; scioglietelo e menatemelo.

Luca 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.

Luca 19:30 In-Context

28 E dette queste cose, Gesù andava innanzi, salendo a Gerusalemme.

29 E avvenne che come fu vicino a Betfage e a Betania presso al monte detto degli Ulivi, mandò due de’ discepoli, dicendo:

30 Andate nella borgata dirimpetto, nella quale entrando, troverete legato un puledro d’asino, sopra il quale non è mai montato alcuno; scioglietelo e menatemelo.

31 E se qualcuno vi domanda perché lo sciogliete, direte così: Il Signore ne ha bisogno.

32 E quelli ch’erano mandati, partirono e trovarono le cose com’egli avea lor detto.
