John 12:14

Found (eurwn). Second aorist active participle of euriskw. Through the disciples, of course, as in Mark 11:2-6 (Matthew 21:2-3, Matthew 21:6; Luke 19:30 f.).

A young ass (onarion). Late diminutive of onov, in Epictetus and the papyri (even the double diminitive, onaridion), only here in the N.T. See discussion of Matthew 21:5 where kai has been wrongly rendered "and" instead of "even." Rightly understood Matthew has Jesus riding only the colt like the rest.
