Luke 19:34 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 19:34

And they said, the Lord hath need of him.
] Or, our Lord, as the above versions in verse 31 (Vulgate Latin and Ethiopic). They used the words Christ directed them to, and it had the effect he said it would; for the owners both let them go, and the colt with them directly; (See Gill on Matthew 21:6) and (See Gill on Mark 11:6).

Luke 19:34 In-Context

32 And they that were sent, went forth, and found as he said to them, a colt standing.

33 And when they untied the colt, the lords of it said to them, What untie ye the colt? [Soothly them untying the colt, the lords of him said, Why untie ye the colt?]

34 And they said, For the Lord hath need to him.

35 And they led him to Jesus; and they casted their clothes on the colt, and set Jesus on him [+and they, casting their clothes upon the colt, put Jesus on him].

36 And when he went, they spreaded their clothes in the way.
