The colt, an unbroken young donkey, symbolizes peace and humility, contrasting with a war horse. This act fulfills the prophecy in <a href="/zechariah/9-9.htm">Zechariah 9:9</a>, which speaks of the King coming to Jerusalem "righteous and having salvation, gentle and riding on a donkey." The disciples' obedience in leading the colt to Jesus demonstrates their trust in His divine knowledge and authority.and threw their cloaks over it Throwing cloaks over the colt signifies respect and honor, creating a makeshift saddle for Jesus. This act mirrors the ancient custom of laying garments before a king, as seen in <a href="/2_kings/9-13.htm">2 Kings 9:13</a> when Jehu is proclaimed king. The cloaks symbolize submission and recognition of Jesus' kingship. This gesture by the disciples and the crowd acknowledges Jesus as the Messiah, the anointed one, who is worthy of honor and reverence.and He sat on it Jesus sitting on the colt is a deliberate act to fulfill messianic prophecy and declare His identity as the Messiah. By choosing to ride a donkey, Jesus aligns Himself with the prophecy of <a href="/zechariah/9-9.htm">Zechariah 9:9</a>, emphasizing His role as the Prince of Peace rather than a political or military leader. This action contrasts with the expectations of a conquering king and highlights the nature of His kingdom, which is spiritual and characterized by humility and peace.
