Charles Spurgeon Commentary Luke 19:32-34

"And they that were sent went away, and found even as he had said unto them. And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye the colt? And they said, The Lord hath need of him." — Luke 19:32-34 (ASV)

The word of the King was again with power, and the owners of the colt were willing to let the animal go since the King had need of him. They may have been secret disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ, but we have no information upon that point. Our King's warrant runs anywhere; and even when his personal presence is not consciously realized, his royal and divine word still rules the minds and hearts of men.
