Mark 11:2

And saith unto them, go your way into the village ,.... Either of Bethany or of Nob. The Ethiopic version renders it "the city", and so reads a copy of Stephens's: some have thought the city of Jerusalem is intended, but without any reason; See Gill on Matthew 21:9 ;

over against you . The Syriac and Persic versions read, "over against us": the sense is the same; for Christ and his disciples were together: this suits with either of the above mentioned places:

and as soon as ye be entered into it ; are come to the town's end, and to one of the first houses in it,

ye shall find a colt tied : Matthew says, "an ass tied, and a colt with her", Matthew 21:2 ; both no doubt true:

whereon never man sat ; which had never been backed and broke, and which makes it the more wonderful, that Christ should choose to ride upon it, and that that should quietly carry him:

loose him, and bring him ; that is, away to me.
