“Then they brought
The colt
To Jesus.
They threw
Their cloaks
On the colt.
They set Jesus
On the colt.”
καὶ ἤγαγον αὐτὸν πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν, καὶ ἐπιρίψαντες αὐτῶν τὰ ἱμάτια ἐπὶ τὸν πῶλον ἐπεβίβασαν τὸν Ἰησοῦν.
Luke indicated that they two disciples brought the colt to Jesus (καὶ ἤγαγον αὐτὸν πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν). They threw their cloaks on the colt (καὶ ἐπιρίψαντες αὐτῶν τὰ ἱμάτια ἐπὶ τὸν πῶλον). They then set Jesus on the colt (ἐπεβίβασαν τὸν Ἰησοῦν). Both Matthew, chapter 21:7, and Mark, chapter 11:7, are similar. Mark said that the two disciples brought or led this colt (καὶ φέρουσιν τὸν πῶλον) back to Jesus (πρὸς τὸν Ἰησοῦν). They placed their outer garments, cloaks, or coats on this colt (καὶ ἐπιβάλλουσιν αὐτῷ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτῶν). Then Jesus sat on the colt (καὶ ἐκάθισεν ἐπ’ αὐτόν). Jesus had an animal to ride on. In Matthew, they put their outer garments or coats on them (καὶ ἐπέθηκαν ἐπ’ αὐτῶν τὰ ἱμάτια). Then Jesus sat on them (καὶ ἐπεκάθισεν ἐπάνω αὐτῶν). This is where the two animals concept falls apart, since Jesus could not sit on two animals at the same time. Thus, the Mark and Luke stories and the prophet Zechariah are right about one young colt donkey, not a donkey and a colt. Jesus was ready for his grand entrance into Jerusalem. How would you prepare for a great entrance?
