The day before Jesus entered Jerusalem, he instructed two disciples to fetch a donkey from a nearby village for him to ride into the city on. This was in fulfillment of an Old Testament prophecy. Jesus's entry into Jerusalem is known as Palm Sunday and marks the beginning of Holy Week.
Jesus's humility: Jesus's choice to ride into Jerusalem on a donkey instead of a horse demonstrated his humility and that he came as a Prince of Peace, not a warrior.

Evidence of the Supernatural
Christ informed the disciples that as they entered the village they would find a female donkey secured by a “tie.” With her would be a colt, also hitched. The disciples were to “unloose” and bring back both animals. They would be questioned by the animals’ owners (plural — Lk. 19:33) as to what they were doing. Their response was to be, “The Lord has need of them.” Immediately permission would be granted. This was not a pre-arranged agreement; rather, it provides a dramatic example of the Lord’s exercise of supernatural knowledge whenever the circumstances demanded such (cf. Lk. 19:32). It is worthy of note as well that the owners of these donkeys were obviously disciples of the Master, as indicated by their unhesitating response to the designation “Lord.”-
. The prophet’s main emphasis was to rekindle spiritual fervor in Israel’s hearts after they had fallen into a state of listlessness. Chapters 9-14 are heavily Messianic in argument. The prophecy under consideration reads as follows:
“Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, your king coming unto you; he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon a donkey, even upon a colt, the foal of a donkey” (Zech 9:9).-
