Saying unto them, Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose [them], and bring [them] unto me.
Note 2 at Mt. 21:2: All four gospels include a triumphal entry, but only Matthew records a donkey with a colt. A simple explanation to a so-called "contradiction" is that Jesus rode the colt while the other donkey went along. No doubt, He rode each animal part of the way (Zech. 9:9; Mt. 21:7). The Messiah was predicted to ride upon a donkey. Jesus thus fulfilled the prophecy of Zechariah 9:9 (see note 6 at Jn. 12:14, p. 355).
