33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?
33 As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, "Why are you untying the colt?"
33 And as they were untying the colt, its owners said to them, "Why are you untying the colt?"
33 As they were untying the colt, its owners said, "What are you doing untying the colt?"
33 But as they were loosing the colt, the owners of it said to them, "Why are you loosing the colt?"
33 And sure enough, as they were untying it, the owners asked them, "Why are you untying that colt?"
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Luke 19:33
Commentary on Luke 19:28-40
(Read Luke 19:28-40)
Christ has dominion over all creatures, and may use them as he pleases. He has all men's hearts both under his eye and in his hand. Christ's triumphs, and his disciples' joyful praises, vex proud Pharisees, who are enemies to him and to his kingdom. But Christ, as he despises the contempt of the proud, so he accepts the praises of the humble. Pharisees would silence the praises of Christ, but they cannot; for as God can out of stones raise up children unto Abraham, and turn the stony heart to himself, so he can bring praise out of the mouths of children. And what will be the feelings of men when the Lord returns in glory to judge the world!
