And they said, the Lord hath need of him. Or, our Lord, as the above versions in verse 31 (Vulgate Latin and Ethiopic). They used the words Christ directed them to, and it had the effect he said it would; for the owners both let them go, and the colt with them directly; See Gill on Mat 21:6 and See Gill on Mar 11:6.

luk 19:35And they brought him to Jesus,.... That is, the colt:
and they cast their garments upon the colt; that is, the disciples, who brought him to Jesus; the Persic version here, as in Mat 21:7 renders it very wrongly, "Jesus put his own garment on its back, and sat on it"; it follows,
and they set Jesus thereon; in order to ride upon him, as he did to Jerusalem.

(33) The owners thereof.—In this instance St. Luke, though less graphic in his narrative generally, is more specific than St. Mark, who represents the question as coming from “some of those that stood by.” The use of the same Greek word for “owner” and for the “Lord” affords a striking example of the elasticity of its range of meaning.
