Note 6 at Jn. 12:14: This is the fulfillment of Zechariah's prophecy in Zechariah 9:9 (see parallel scripture printed in Lk's. column, above). Notice how specific Zechariah's prophecy was and how exactly it was fulfilled. Zechariah prophesied Jesus not only riding an ass, but also a colt (unbroken), the foal of an ass. Zechariah also mentioned the people rejoicing greatly and shouting which certainly came to pass on this day.
