Matthew 21:3
Douay-Rheims
And if any man shall say anything to you, say ye, that the Lord hath need of them: and forthwith he will let them go.
George Leo Haydock
The Lord hath need. Not our Lord, or your Lord, but the Lord, viz. of all, both of the beasts and of their masters, and of every creature. Christ here discovers two of his own attributes, his omniscience and his supreme dominion. Now this was done not by accident, not through novelty or to avoid fatigue, but as the evangelist declares, to accomplish the prophecy of Isaias and of Zarcharias.
