Matthew 21:4
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet. See
Isaiah 62:11 Zec 9:9. The prophet here describes him as riding upon
one of the humblest of animals, and in the fulfillment we find, (1)
that the animal was borrowed; (2) that he rode without a saddle on
borrowed garments; (3) that it was a colt on which no man had ever
before rode. Only animals hitherto unused were regarded fit for sacred
uses. See Numbers 19:2 De 21:3 1Sa 6:7. This is the only instance reported
in which the Lord ever rode on any animal.
