This may seem like a overly complicated set of instruction, but it follows Christ's pattern of three plus one, which is the common reason why Christ's simplest statements often seem convoluted. Here he gives four instructions: go, find, loosen, and bring. "Go" is the spiritual command (the seed). "Find" is the mental command. "Loosen" is the relationship command. "Bring" is the physical command, reversing the spiritual beginning.
"Go your way" is from hupagô (hypago), which means "to lead under," "to bring under," "to bring a person before judgment," "to lead on by degrees," "to take away from beneath," "to withdraw," "to go away," "to retire," "to draw off," and "off with you."
"Village" is from kômê (kome), which means an "unwalled village," "country town," and the ward or quarter of a city.
"Over against" is from katenanti (katenanti), which means "over against" and "opposite."
"As soon as" is from eutheôs (eutheos), which is the adverb of euthus, which means "straight," "direct," "straightforward," and "frank." As an adverb, it means "straight," "simple," "straightway," forthwith," "immediately," "directly," and "at once."
"Be entered" is eisporeuô (eisporeuomai), which means "lead in," "go into," and "enter." It combines "eis," which means "in" with poreuô (poreuomai), which means "make to go," "carry," "convey," "bring," "go," "march," and "proceed."
"Shall find" is from heuriskô (heurisko), which means "to find," "to find out," "to discover," "to devise," "to invent," "to get," and "to gain."
"Colt" is from pôlos (polos), which means "foal," "colt," "filly," and any young animal. Poetically, it is used to refer to a young girl or maiden.
"Tied" is deô (deo) which means "to bind," "to keep in bonds," "to tie," "to hinder from," and "to fetter. "
"No man" is from oudeis, (oudeis) which means "no one," "not one," "nothing," "naught," "good for naught," and "no matter."
