THE MESSAGE
They went and found a colt tied to a door at the street corner and untied it. Some of those standing there said, "What are you doing untying that colt?" The disciples replied exactly as Jesus had instructed them, and the people let them alone. They brought the colt to Jesus, spread their coats on it, and he mounted.

Contextual Overview
1 They slowed to a walk as they got close to Jerusalem. Jesus sent two of his cowboys ahead to a little cow camp and
2told them, "When you get there, you will find an unbroke colt tied to the fence.
3If anyone questions you, just tell them the Lord needs it and will return it shortly."
4They found the colt and sure enough,
5some people started asking them where they were taking it.
6The cowboys told them Jesus needed it and the people said nothing more and let them pass.
7They brought the colt to Jesus and they threw their coats on its back as saddle blankets and then Jesus hopped up there.
8Then Jesus started his ride into Jerusalem and people honored him by throwing their own coats on the ground so that even the colt's feet that carried him wouldn't touch the dirt. Some people even cut branches off of nearby trees and laid them down in the road for Jesus's mount to walk on.
9This was quite a sight to see and people in front of Jesus and behind him were shouting, "The Lord will save us! Here's to the One who rides in the name of the Lord!
10Here's to the coming of the outfit that our father David talked so much about. Here! Here!"

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And they went their way,.... The two disciples went to the village, where Christ sent them, without objecting any difficulties that might present, in the execution of these orders:
and found the colt tied by the door without; in the street, fastened to the door of the owner's house, at the town's end:
in a place where two ways met; to go into and out of the village; at the corner house, where two ways met; so that the place was very public, and such an affair could not be transacted, without being seen:
and they loose him; as soon as ever they came to the place, they immediately began to untie the colt, and were going away with him.
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.
