“Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass.”
Matthew 21:5 (KJV)
Commentary on Matthew 21:5
The quotation 'Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass' from Zechariah 9:9 presents the paradox of the king's arrival. 'Meek' (Greek: praus) means gentle, humble, not asserting rights—contrasting with expected military conqueror. The donkey symbolizes peace (horses signified war). Jesus deliberately fulfills prophecy, publicly claiming messianic identity while redefining messianic expectations—a suffering servant-king, not political liberator.
