“And brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.”
They brought the donkey and the colt and put their cloaks on them, and he sat on them. The disciples put their cloaks on the animals — the same gesture that will mark the crowd's reception in the following verse — and Jesus sits on them (on the cloaks placed on the animals). The cloaks-on-the-animals gesture parallels the anointing of Jehu as king in 2 Kings 9:13, where the people spread their cloaks under him.
