Taking a seat on the animals · dominant
In Matthew 21:7, the aorist active indicative singular form occurs after the donkey and colt are brought and cloaks are placed on them; the APB renders the resulting action, “and he sat on them.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Matthew 21:7, the APB presents the action as “and he sat on them.” The verse is read as a whole, but the clause confirms a seated action involving the animals.
