Mark 11:2

2 and saith to them, Go ye into the castle that is against you; and at once as ye enter there ye shall find a colt tied, on which no man hath sat yet [+and anon ye entering in thither shall find a colt tied, upon which none of men sat yet]; untie ye, and bring him.

Mark 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.

Mark 11:2 In-Context

1 And when Jesus came nigh to Jerusalem and to Bethany, to the mount of Olives, he sendeth two of his disciples, [+And when Jesus came nigh to Jerusalem and to Bethany, at the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples],

2 and saith to them, Go ye into the castle that is against you; and at once as ye enter there ye shall find a colt tied, on which no man hath sat yet [+and anon ye entering in thither shall find a colt tied, upon which none of men sat yet]; untie ye, and bring him.

3 And if any man say any thing to you, What do ye? say ye, that he is needful to the Lord, and at once he shall let him go hither [and anon he shall leave him hither].

4 And they went forth, and found a colt tied before the gate withoutforth, in the meeting of two ways; and they untied him.

5 And some of them that stood there said to them, What do ye, untying the colt?
