“And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon .”
Matthew 21:7 (KJV)
Commentary on Matthew 21:7
Brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes—The disciples improvised a makeshift saddle (ἱμάτια, himatia—outer garments) for the unbroken colt. They set him thereon uses an ambiguous pronoun: Jesus rode the colt (as Mark/Luke specify), while garments covered both animals.Matthew alone mentions both mother and colt, perhaps hyper-literalizing Zechariah's Hebrew parallelism ('on an ass, on a colt the foal of an ass'). This detail emphasizes Jesus's gentle authority—mounting an unbroken colt that would normally be untamed, yet it bore Him peacefully into Jerusalem.
