Maybe a colt, maybe a donkey. Different translations, different animal.
Matthew 21
Mark 11
Luke 19
John 12
The Gospel of John mentions palms being placed in the road for Jesus to ride over (a symbol of triumph). Thus, Palm Sunday is a partial reenactment of Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem on his donkey.
It was to fulfill the Prophet Zechariah's prophecy that the Messiah would enter Jerusalem riding on a donkey. Also, Jesus was not a king with all the earthly trappings of wealth. It signified his great humility to be riding upon a beast of burden. He himself was to bear the burden of sins.
There is no historical account or biblical reference that suggests Jesus rode a donkey backwards. The Gospels describe Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey, fulfilling a prophecy, but there is no mention of him riding the donkey backwards.
In his triumphal ride into Jerusalem Jesus doubtless entered the temple area by its northeast gate.
The young man had great wealth, which Jesus said makes it hard for someone to enter the kingdom of heaven. Jesus instructed the man to sell all his possessions, give the proceeds to the poor, and follow him, but the man was unable to do so because he loved his wealth.
Good question. The King James translation and the Holman Christian Standard bible translation both say that He rode on both. As it says in verse 7, they laid their robes on them and He sat on them. Since it says He rode on both and I have a hard time picturing someone riding two animals at the same time and I assume that he rode on one at a time. In the old testament book of Zechariah, chapter 9 verse 9 it says, "... see, your King is coming to you; He is righteous and victorious, humble and riding on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey." this was prophesy of Jesus riding into Jerusalem. It mentions two animals. The way it is written in Zechariah it could mean that He rode on the colt and it was just expounding on the fact that the colt was from a donkey or ass. Today all our Easter programs and paintings show Him atop a donkey. Since most paintings of Jesus show Him with blond hair and blue eyes we know that the paintings are up to the painters views. In the grand scheme of things, it is not important whether he rode one at a time or both at the same time, but rather that what was told in the old testament was true. It was prophesy fulfilled.-Edit: Secular Perspective Below-It is most likely that the author of Matthew was making a postdiction from the Old Testament quote from Zechariah 9:9. Matthew was not a very careful reader of the Old Testament. Zechariah 9:9 is a literary device known as 'Parallelism' where the author emphasizes something by repeating it. Matthew likely did not fully understand that Zechariah was describing the ass as a colt, rather than describing two separate animals, and so wrote in Matt 21:5 [KVJ] "Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass ", so Matthew has Jesus riding both animals, but Mark and Luke have only the Colt. -- I think the technical term for this is "Oops".Postdiction: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostdictionParallelism: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelism_%28rhetoric%29
No Jesus rode the colt on Palm Sunday a week earlier.
In Matthew 21:7, Jesus rode on an ass and also on its colt, in order to fulfil a prophecy. In Mark 11:7, Luke 19:35 and John 12:14, Jesus simply rode on a colt.
a horse has to be 2 years of age before you get them broke
Mark's Gospel, followed by both Luke and John, simply had Jesus ride into Jerusalem on a colt, but Matthew expanded the story, making it seem ridiculous:21:2 Go into the village over against you and straightway you shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her, loose them and bring them unto me. 21:5 Behold thy king cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass and a colt the foal of an ass 21:7 And they brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.So, in Mark, Luke and John, Jesus rode a colt or young ass into Jerusalem. In Matthew, Jesus rode both an ass and a colt, apparently at the same time.
Yes this was fulfilled s Jesus rode on a colt on Palm Sunday. It is told by Zechariah chapter 9 verse 9.
Actually kings came in power riding horses, but Jesus came humbly riding a young Donkey (colt).
