Exegesis
The object polon dedemenon {πῶλον δεδεμένον | pôlon dedeménon} ‘a tied colt’ is further specified by the relative clause ep’ hon oudeis pôpote anthrōpōn ekathisen {ἐφʼ ὃν οὐδεὶς πώποτε ἀνθρώπων ἐκάθισεν | eph hon oudeís pôpote anthrṓpōn ekáthisen}, which emphasizes its unique, unused status by combining the universal negative oudeis with the temporal adverb pôpote ‘ever’.
In context — Luke 19:30
He said, “Go into the village opposite you; as you enter it, you will find a colt tied, on which no one has ever sat. Untie it and bring it.”
