"Tell the daughter of Sion,

Behold, thy King is coming unto thee;
Meek, and mounted on a female ass,

And on a colt, the son of a female ass."

Whether or not the person who wrote the above verse

did really believe that Jesus, when making his triumphal entry
into Jerusalem by mounting or sitting at the same time both
upon the mother ass and her young colt, worked a miracle

is not the question; nevertheless it is true to say that the
majority of the Christian Fathers so believed; and it never
occurred to them that such a show would look rather a

comedy than a royal and pompous procession. Luke, how-
ever, is careful, and has not fallen into Matthew's mistake.
