“And if any man say ought unto you, ye shall say, The Lord hath need of them; and straightway he will send them.”
If anyone says anything to you, you shall say: the Lord needs them, and he will send them at once. The simple authorization — the Lord needs them — is sufficient to secure the animals. The immediate sending communicates the pre-arranged character of the entry: someone who knew what the disciples would say was waiting. The lordship that the entry enacts is anticipated in the language of authorization.
