A.T. Robertson Commentary Mark 11:7

"And they bring the colt unto Jesus, and cast on him their garments; and he sat upon him." — Mark 11:7 (ASV)

They bring the colt unto Jesus (φερουσιν τον πωλον προς τον Ιησουν). Vivid historical present. The owners acquiesced as Jesus had predicted. Evidently friends of Jesus.
