ISB ~ Luke 19 v30

a colt:Matthew mentions a “donkey” also (Mt 21:7). The animal was fit for sacred use, since no one had ridden upon it (Num 19:2; 1 Sam 6:7).

• Jesus’ procession into the city fulfills the royal prophecy of Zech 9:9. The colt symbolizes that Jesus comes in peace; otherwise he would be mounted on a war horse (Zech 9:10) (CCC 559).
