Matthew 21:4
Compare all
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 “Tella 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?”

Matthew 21:4-5

Matthew 21:4 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet. See Isaiah 62:11 Zec 9:9. The prophet here describes him as riding upon one of the humblest of animals, and in the fulfillment we find, (1) that the animal was borrowed; (2) that he rode without a saddle on borrowed garments; (3) that it was a colt on which no man had ever before rode. Only animals hitherto unused were regarded fit for sacred uses. See Numbers 19:2 De 21:3 1Sa 6:7. This is the only instance reported in which the Lord ever rode on any animal.
