Mark Chapter 11

Mk.11:1 Now when they drew near Jerusalem, to Bethphage^[a] and Bethany, at the Mount of Olives, He sent two of His disciples;
Mk.11:2 and He said to them, “Go into the village opposite you; and as soon as you have entered it you will find a colt tied, on which no one has sat. Loose it and bring it.
Mk.11:3 And if anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ say, ‘The Lord has need of it,’ and immediately he will send it here.”
Mk.11:4 So they went their way, and found the^[b] colt tied by the door outside on the street, and they loosed it.
Mk.11:5 But some of those who stood there said to them, “What are you doing, loosing the colt?”
Mk.11:6 And they spoke to them just as Jesus had commanded. So they let them go.

I wonder, what the people thought, when they heard the answer of the disciples. Because as they asked them “What are you doing, loosing the colt?” the disciples answered "The Lord has need of it".
Somehow the people must have understood, that what the disciples are doing is right and permitted. Maybe God opened their spiritual eyes so that they understood.
Or they simply thought, that the owner has sent the disciples to bring it to him.

But whatever they might have thought, they let them go (not like the pharao, who could clearly see the mighty power of God, but didn't let the Israelites go).
