Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an a$$, and a colt the foal of an a$$. And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them And brought the a$$, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon.
Mark 11:7
And they brought the colt to Jesus, and cast their garments on him; and he sat upon him.
Luke 19:35
And they brought him to Jesus: and they cast their garments upon the colt, and they set Jesus thereon. John 12:14
And Jesus, when he had found a young a$$, sat thereon.

You have quoted scripture and it answers your question right there. I did try to type the word in and quess what....YA just put all astericks in place of the word so I guess they think it is a cuss word but it is indeed the term used to describe the animal Jesus rode on. Talk about censorship....

Jesus sent his disciples to get him a donkey. He told them where they could find one. When they arrived at the place Jesus told them to go the donkey was there. They brought it back to Jesus and then put their garments on the donkeys back for Jesus to sit upon. The reason they say young colt is because the donkey was young and had never been ridden before. But, when Jesus sat on it the donkey it seemed tame as if it had been broke. Jesus then rode the donkey in to Jerusalem.

check the Hebrew translation of "colt", you will find it is a young male donkey.
But, does it matter? He still got there was welcomed, betrayed, illegally tried, convicted and killed... for you and me. Dwell on the most important part of the story...His resurrection. That cannot be disproved, only doubted by a few.

He rode on a donkey, because he wanted to make a peaceful approach. (a horse symbolizes power, and he did not want to start anything, so instead he chose a meek donkey.)

Are you sure it wasn't a Harley? Would have been viewed as a miracle, and much easier than riding on two animals at the same time. So much for your inerrant Bible.

That's probably the smallest of the innumerable inconsistencies in the alleged perfect and holy word of gawd.
