Matthew 21:1 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 21:1

The Triumphal Entry

1 Now ^awhen they drew near Jerusalem, and came to¹ Bethphage, at ^bthe Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

2 saying to them, “Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Loose them and bring them to Me.

3 And if anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord has need of them,’ and immediately he will send them.”

4 ¹All this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying:

5 “Tell^a the daughter of Zion,
‘Behold, your King is coming to you,
Lowly, and sitting on a donkey,
A colt, the foal of a donkey.’ ”

6 ^aSo the disciples went and did as Jesus commanded them.

7 They brought the donkey and the colt, ^alaid their clothes on them, and set Him on them.

8 And a very great multitude spread their clothes on the road; ^aothers cut down branches from the trees and spread them on the road.

Matthew 21:1-11

They all say that the people cried out, that they were shouting loudly or in a loud voice, singing these praises to Him. Matthew and John make sure we connect Jesus' triumphal entry with Isaiah 62:11 and Zechariah 9:9 as a fulfillment of prophecy, that this was prophesied that the King would come in this manner. "Your King is coming to you, riding on a donkey."

And then Matthew tells us, in this context he calls Jesus the Son of David. David, obviously the king, and the Son of David would then be the heir to the throne, right? Right.
