Contextual Overview

¹²On the first day of the Flatbread Feast is when the Passover lamb is sacrificed. Jesus's cowboys asked him where he wanted to eat the Passover meal. ¹³He sent a couple of his cowboys to the city and ¹⁴said, "When you get into town, you'll see a man carrying a canteen. Follow him. When he goes into a house, knock on the door and tell the owner, 'The Boss asks, "Which room shall I stay in and eat the Passover meal with my cowboys?"' ¹⁵He will immediately take you upstairs to a large furnished room. Get everything started and the rest of us will be along shortly." ¹⁶The cowboys rode off and found everything just like Jesus said they would. After it happened just like he said it would, they went upstairs and started cooking. ¹⁷When evening arrived, Jesus arrived at the house with the rest of his men, including Judas the Betrayer. ¹⁸While they were eating, Jesus commented, "One of you eating here with me is a double-crosser." ¹⁹You could have heard a pin drop and then one by one, each cowboy said, "It's not me, Boss!" ²⁰Jesus had just sat a bowl down that he had passed around and everyone had dipped their bread into. He said, "The double-crosser has just dipped his hand in the same bowl as I did. ²¹He will betray me because God said it would happen, but it would be better for the double-crossing cur dog if he'd never been born."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he will show you a large upper room,.... A room in the highest part of the house, large enough for such a company, for thirteen persons, which was the number of Christ and his disciples:

furnished and prepared; with a table, and a sufficient number of couches to sit, or lie upon, and with all proper vessels necessary on such an occasion:

there make ready for us; the passover.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See the notes at Matthew 26:17-19.

Mark 14:12

They killed the passover - The “paschal lamb,” which was slain in keeping the Passover.

Go and prepare - Go and provide a lamb, have it roasted, and properly prepared with the usual things to eat with it.

Mark 14:13

The city - The city of Jerusalem. They were now in Bethany, about 2 miles from the city.

A man bearing a pitcher of water - This could have been known only by the infinite knowledge of Christ. Such a thing could not have been conjectured, nor was there any concert between him and the man that “at that time” he should be in a particular place to meet them, for the disciples themselves proposed the inquiry. If Jesus knew a circumstance like that, then he in the same way must have known all things; then he sees “all” the actions of men - hears every word, and marks every thought; then the righteous are under his care, and the wicked, much as they may wish to be unseen, cannot escape the notice of his eye.

Mark 14:14

The goodman of the house - This signifies simply the “master” of the house. The original word expresses nothing respecting his character, whether it was good or bad.

The guest-chamber - A chamber for guests or friends - an unoccupied room.

Mark 14:15

A large upper room - The word used here denotes the upper room devoted to purposes of prayer, repose, and often of eating. See the notes at Matthew 9:1-8.

Furnished and prepared - Literally, “spread” and “ready.” Spread with a carpet, or with “couches” such as were used in eating. See the notes at Matthew 23:6.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Mark 14:15. Furnished — Spread with carpets - εστρωμενον - so this word is often used. See WAKEFIELD. But it may also signify the couches on which the guests reclined when eating. It does not appear that the Jews ate the passover now, as their fathers did formerly, standing, with their shoes on, and their staves in their hands.
