Matthew 21

5 "Say to the daughter of Zion,

‘Look, your King is coming to you,

humble and mounted on a donkey,

in fact, a young donkey,

foal of a beast of burden.’ "*The quote is from Zechariah 9:9. Unfortunately the KJV (corrected by the NKJV) mistranslates both the Hebrew and the Greek, making it appear that Jesus rode both animals, which was not the case; He rode only the colt. For a more complete discussion, please see the Appendix: How many animals?
