Luke 19:28-32 - After Jesus had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. As he approached Bethphage and Bethany at the hill called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, saying to them, "Go to the village ahead of you, and as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, 'Why are you untying it?' tell him, 'The Lord needs it.' "
Those who were sent ahead went and found it just as he had told them.
I wonder if Jesus' disciples were at all surprised at his ability to tell of future events. They still didn't understand what he was talking about related to his death because it was hidden from them, but this event was fairly straightforward. They "found it just as he had told them." After all the other miracles they had seen -- feeding thousands with little, healing the sick, casting out demons, raising the dead -- did seeing into the future inspire even more awe in them?
