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.

Mark takes notice of this, but does not tell us who they were, only that they were persons that stood there; but this evangelist informs us who they were: and it seems by this, that there were more owners of the colt than one, which might have made the taking away of the colt the more difficult; since, though one might agree to it, another might not; but Christ, who is God, and has the hearts of all men in his hands, could, as he did, dispose the minds of these men to let the colt go freely, and quietly, with his disciples; See Gill on <a href="/mark/11-5.htm">Mark 11:5</a>. <a name="gsb" id="gsb"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/gsb/luke/19.htm">Geneva Study Bible</a></div><span class="cverse2">And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt?</span></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="comtype">EXEGETICAL (ORIGINAL LANGUAGES)</div><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/bengel/luke/19.htm">Bengel's Gnomen</a></div>[33. <span class="greekheb">Αυόντων</span>, <span class="ital">as they were loosing</span>) in public, without having accosted or asked leave of any man.—V. g.]<span class="p"><br /><br /></span>Luke 19:33<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/luke/19-33.htm">Luke 19:33 Interlinear</a><br /><a href="/texts/luke/19-33.htm">Luke 19:33 Parallel Texts</a><br /><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/niv/luke/19-33.htm">Luke 19:33 NIV</a><br /><a href="/nlt/luke/19-33.htm">Luke 19:33 NLT</a><br /><a href="/esv/luke/19-33.htm">Luke 19:33 ESV</a><br /><a href="/nasb/luke/19-33.htm">Luke 19:33 NASB</a><br /><a href="/kjv/luke/19-33.htm">Luke 19:33 KJV</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="http://bibleapps.com/luke/19-33.htm">Luke 19:33 Bible Apps</a><br /><a href="/luke/19-33.htm">Luke 19:33 Parallel</a><br /><a href="http://bibliaparalela.com/luke/19-33.htm">Luke 19:33 Biblia Paralela</a><br /><a href="http://holybible.com.cn/luke/19-33.htm">Luke 19:33 Chinese Bible</a><br /><a href="http://saintebible.com/luke/19-33.htm">Luke 19:33 French Bible</a><br /><a href="http://bibeltext.com/luke/19-33.htm">Luke 19:33 German Bible</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/">Bible Hub</a><br /></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td align="center"><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="../luke/19-32.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="Luke 19:32"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="Luke 19:32" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="../luke/19-34.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="Luke 19:34"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="Luke 19:34" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div> <div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
