Brethren:
What has struck this
editor as notable is that our Savior told them what to say and that
it would be understood instantly. It is not written whether those
that would endeavor to prevent them from taking the colt knew of
Christ, or if the concept of Lord, (as in Christ’s deity) was known
to them. Perhaps they had heard of Him or perhaps they may have seen
Him prior to this engagement with His disciples. It is also wondered
by this editor if likewise He had only to send forth several
disciples armed with only a word by Him, which would be more than
enough to convince the owners of the colt. Was it their faith, or the
power of His Word? - Dr. RVZ
“Our Lord and
yours, the Lord of heaven and earth, and all things in it; it looks
as if this title, "the Lord", was what Jesus was well known
by; (Read John 11:28) ; unless it can be thought, that the owners of
the colt were such, that believed in Christ, as is not improbable;
and so would at once understand by the language who it was for, and
let it go.” - John Gill
