Mark 11:6

6 οἱ δὲ εἶπαν αὐτοῖς καθὼς εἶπεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς · καὶ ἀφῆκαν αὐτούς.

Mark 11:6 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 11:6

And they said unto them
The very express words,

even as Jesus had commanded:
not that these were the words they said, but "the Lord hath need of him": upon which they said no more, were satisfied and contented, that they should untie the colt, and take it with them:

and they let them go;
and the colt with them, very freely; (See Gill on Matthew 21:6).

Mark 11:6 In-Context

4 καὶ ἀπῆλθον ⸃ καὶ εὗρον πῶλον δεδεμένον πρὸς θύραν ἔξω ἐπὶ τοῦ ἀμφόδου, καὶ λύουσιν αὐτόν.

5 καί τινες τῶν ἐκεῖ ἑστηκότων ἔλεγον αὐτοῖς · Τί ποιεῖτε λύοντες τὸν πῶλον;

6 οἱ δὲ εἶπαν αὐτοῖς καθὼς εἶπεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς · καὶ ἀφῆκαν αὐτούς.

7 καὶ φέρουσιν τὸν πῶλον πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν, καὶ ἐπιβάλλουσιν αὐτῷ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν, καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐπ’ αὐτόν.

8 καὶ πολλοὶ ⸃ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν ἔστρωσαν εἰς τὴν ὁδόν, ἄλλοι δὲ στιβάδας κόψαντες ἐκ τῶν ἀγρῶν.
