Contextual Overview
1 As Jesus and his followers were coming closer to Jerusalem, they came to the towns of Bethphage and Bethany near the Mount of Olives. From there Jesus sent two of his followers 2 and said to them, "Go to the town you can see there. When you enter it, you will quickly find a colt tied, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here to me. 3 If anyone asks you why you are doing this, tell him its Master needs the colt, and he will send it at once." 4 The followers went into the town, found a colt tied in the street near the door of a house, and untied it. 5 Some people were standing there and asked, "What are you doing? Why are you untying that colt?" 6 The followers answered the way Jesus told them to answer, and the people let them take the colt. 7 They brought the colt to Jesus and put their coats on it, and Jesus sat on it. 8 Many people spread their coats on the road. Others cut branches in the fields and spread them on the road. 9 The people were walking ahead of Jesus and behind him, shouting, "Praise God! God bless the One who comes in the name of the Lord! Psalm 118:26 10 God bless the kingdom of our father David! That kingdom is coming! Praise to God in heaven!"

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And saith unto them, go your way into the village,.... 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;
:-;
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", Matthew 21:2; both no doubt true:
whereon never man sat; which had never been backed and broke, and which makes it the more wonderful, that Christ should choose to ride upon it, and that that should quietly carry him:
loose him, and bring him; that is, away to me.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
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.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Mark 11:2. Whereon never man sat — No animal was allowed to be employed in sacred uses, even among the heathen, that had previously been used for any domestic or agricultural purpose; and those which had never been yoked were considered as sacred. See several proofs of this in the note on Numbers 19:2, and add this from Ovid: -
Bos tibi, Phoebus ait, solis occurret in arvis,
Nullum passa jugum curvique immunis aratri.
Met. lib. iii. v. 10.
The Delphic oracles this answer give: -
Behold among the fields a lonely cow,
Unworn with yokes, unbroken to the plough.
