The Lord and the Owners
Commentators highlight a significant detail in the original Greek. The same word, 'kurios,' is used for both the 'owners' of the colt and for 'the Lord' Jesus. When the owners ('kurioi') ask why the colt is being taken, the disciples' answer is that the Lord ('kurios') needs it. This subtly asserts Jesus' ultimate authority and ownership over all things.
