Mark 11:4 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 11:4

And they went their way
The two disciples went to the village, where Christ sent them, without objecting any difficulties that might present, in the execution of these orders:

and found the colt tied by the door without;
in the street, fastened to the door of the owner's house, at the town's end:

in a place where two ways met;
to go into and out of the village; at the corner house, where two ways met; so that the place was very public, and such an affair could not be transacted, without being seen:

and they loose him;
as soon as ever they came to the place, they immediately began to untie the colt, and were going away with him.

Mark 11:4 In-Context

2 "Go," He said, "to the village facing you, and immediately on entering it you will find an ass's foal tied up which no one has ever yet ridden: untie him and bring him here.

3 And if any one asks you, `Why are you doing that?' say, `The Master needs it, and will send it back here without delay.'"

4 So they went and found a young ass tied up at the front door of a house. They were untying it,

5 when some of the bystanders called out, "What are you doing, untying the foal?"

6 But on their giving the answer that Jesus had bidden them give, they let them take it.
