Matthew 21:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 21:4

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.

9 Then the multitudes who went before and those who followed cried out, saying:
“Hosanna to the Son of David!
^a‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’
Hosanna in the highest!”

10 ^aAnd when He had come into Jerusalem, all the city was moved, saying, “Who is this?”
