Context of Mark 14:15
13He sent two of his disciples and told them, “Go into the city. You will meet a man carrying a jug of water. Follow him. 14When he goes into a house, tell the owner that the teacher asks, ‘Where is my room where I can eat the Passover meal with my disciples?’ He will take you upstairs and show you a large room. The room will be completely furnished. Get everything ready for us there.” 16The disciples left. They went into the city and found everything as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover. 17When evening came, Jesus arrived with the twelve 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. But our Lord knows all things about us before they come to pass. If we admit him, he will dwell in our hearts. 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
