Context of Mark 14:15

13So Jesus sent two disciples to prepare the meal. ‘Go into the city,’ he said to them. ‘A man, who is carrying a jar of water, will meet you. Follow him. 14He will go to a house. You must say to the master of that house, “The Teacher sends this message to you: ‘Where is the room for visitors? I will eat the Passover meal there with my disciples.’ ” Then the man will show you a large room upstairs. The room will have in it all the things that you will need. You should prepare the Passover meal for us there.’ 16Then the two disciples left and they went into the city. They found everything as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover meal there. 17When it was evening, Jesus arrived with the 12 apostles.

Commentaries on Mark 14:15

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 15Furnished - Spread with carpets - - 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.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 12-16Verses 12-16 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…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 12-21Verses 12-21 Nothing could be less the result of human foresight than the events here related.

The Son of man goes, as it is written of him, as a lamb to the slaughter; but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed! God's permitting the sins of men, and bringing glory to himself out of them, does not oblige them to sin; nor will this be any excuse…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 13-15The instructions Jesus gives to the disciples are similar to those in 11:2–6. This suggests that Jesus had already arranged a place where he and his disciples could eat the Passover meal and the Last Supper together. The careful preparation for this meal shows its importance. The two disciples were to prepare the Passover meal. This included: the lamb (which had to be slaughtered, skinned, cleaned, and roasted over an open fire), unleavened bread, a bowl…Read the comment
