Doesn't his sound like a leader of a gang of thugs out to steel people's horses?
"As they came to the towns of Bethphage and Bethany, on the Mount of Olives, he sent two disciples ahead. "Go into that village over there," he told them, "and as you enter it, you will see a colt tied there that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks what you are doing, just say, 'The Lord needs it.'" So they went and found the colt, just as Jesus had said. And sure enough, as they were untying it, the owners asked them, "Why are you untying our colt?" And the disciples simply replied, "The Lord needs it." So they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their garments over it for him to ride on." (Luke 19:29-35)

It might have been prearranged via codes, since the religious authorities were keen to arrest Jesus.
A similar thing happened with regard to the Passover meal. The disciples were told to follow a lady with a pot on her head into a house. I think Sanhedrin spies were watching Jesus and his disciples so He was using common sense ideas to prevent them knowing where he was. When they knew he was in Gethsemane after the Passover meal as Judas told them, they arrested him.

The disciples reported "the Lord hath desire of him." It is sensible to think of that the vendors then gave their permission. you additionally can think approximately that Jesus, because of the fact the son of God, already knew this might ensue. And the animal in question became actual a donkey, no longer a horse.

Actually ......no.
You are stretching things just a tad.
You weren't there, you don't know.
Actually, you should know!
Jesus claimed to represent truth and justice.
Would such a peson steal a horse?
How do you know if Jesus hadn't previously made arrangements with the owners to ensure a horse would be there and not given to someone else?

NO, his disciples answered and they did not stop them.
Well, God does the same thing all the time. He pre-arranges things.
