SEV Biblia, Chapter 11:2
Y les dice: Id al lugar que est delante de vosotros, y luego entrados en l, hallaris un pollino atado, sobre el cual ningn hombre ha subido; desatadlo y traedlo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Mark 11:2
Verse 2. Whereon never man sat] No animal was allowed to be employed in sacred uses, even among the heathen, that had previously been used for any domestic or agricultural purpose; and those which had never been yoked were considered as sacred. See several proofs of this in the note on Num. xix. 2, and add this from Ovid:-Bos tibi, Phoebus ait, solis occurret in arvis, Nullum passa jugum curvique immunis aratri Met. lib. iii. v. 10 The Delphic oracles this answer give:- Behold among the fields a lonely cow, Unworn with yokes, unbroken to the plough.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 2. And saith unto them, go your way into the village , etc..] Either of Bethany or of Nob. The Ethiopic version renders it the city, and so reads a copy of Stephens's: some have thought the city of Jerusalem is intended, but without any reason; (see Gill on Matthew 21:9); over against you . The Syriac and Persic versions read, over against us: the sense is the same; for Christ and his disciples were together: this suits with either of the above mentioned places: and as soon as ye be entered into it ; are come to the town's end, and to one of the first houses in it, ye shall find a colt tied : Matthew says, an ass tied, and a colt with her, ( Matthew 21:2); both no doubt true: whereon never man sat ; which had never been backed and broke, and which makes it the more wonderful, that Christ should choose to ride upon it, and that that should quietly carry him: loose him, and bring him ; that is, away to me.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-11 - Christ's coming into Jerusalem thus remarkably, shows that he was no afraid of the power and malice of his enemies. This would encourage his disciples who were full of fear. Also, that he was not disquieted a the thoughts of his approaching sufferings. But all marked his humiliation; and these matters teach us not to mind high things, but to condescend to those of low estate. How ill it becomes Christians to take state, when Christ was so far from claiming it! They welcomed his person; Blessed is he that cometh, the "He that should come," so ofte promised, so long expected; he comes in the name of the Lord. Let his have our best affections; he is a blessed Saviour, and brings blessing to us, and blessed be He that sent him. Praises be to our God, who is in the highest heavens, over all, God blessed for ever.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
2. Colt. Only Matthew adds the ass. Mark and Luke have colt only.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
11:2 {As ye enter} (eisporeuomenoi). So also #Lu 19:30. Present middle participle. {Colt} (pwlon). So #Lu 19:30. #Mt 21:2 speaks of the ass (onon) also. {Whereon no one ever yet sat} (ef' hon oudeis anqrwpwn ekaqisen). So #Lu 19:30.
