Mark 11:2

“And saith unto them, go your way into the village, etc..] 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 “<402109>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”, (<402102>Matthew 21:2); both no doubt true:…”

“See this passage illustrated in the notes at Matthew 21:1-16. Mark 11:4 Two ways met - A crossroads. A public place, probably near the center of the village. Mark 11:5 What do ye, loosing the colt? - Or, why do ye do this? What authority have you for doing it? See this passage illustrated in the notes at Matthew 21:1-16. return to 'Top of Page'”

“11:2-3 There have already been numerous examples of Jesus’ supernatural knowledge (2:8; 3:5; 5:30, 32; 8:17, 31), but the people’s acceptance of the reply that the Lord needs it (11:3, 6) suggests that Jesus had prearranged it (cp. 14:13-16). Jesus had intentionally planned to enter Jerusalem in fulfillment of Zech 9:9.”
