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 recorded 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 (Zec 9:9 and Mt 21:7). The Messiah was predicted to ride upon a donkey. Jesus thus fulfilled the prophecy of Zec 9:9 (see note 6 at Joh 12:14).
