11:6a

The disciples answered as Jesus had instructed them: The disciples said the words that Jesus had told them to say (see 11:3).

In your language, you may need to explicitly say who answered whom. For example:

The two disciples answered the people who asked the question as Jesus had told them to answer.

11:6b

the people gave them permission: The phrase the people gave them permission indicates that the people accepted what the disciples said. They allowed the disciples to go. They did not object or protest any more.

You may need to make it explicit that the people let the disciples take the colt and go. For example:

the people let them go away with the colt
