Exegesis
Finally, kai epekathisen epanō autōn {καὶ ἐπεκάθισεν ἐπάνω αὐτῶν | ka-í e-pe-ká-thi-sen e-pá-nō au-tō̌n} shifts to singular subject (He = Jesus) and uses the adverb epanō {ἐπάνω | e-pá-nō} to emphasize the royal seating. The aorist verbs highlight distinct preparatory acts culminating in the Messianic entry.
In context — Matthew 21:7
They brought the donkey and the colt, placed their garments on them, and He sat upon them.
