Mark 14:13 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:13

And he sendeth forth two of his disciples
Peter and John, as appears from ( Luke 22:8 ) ;

and saith unto them, go ye into the city;
the city of Jerusalem; for there only the passover might be eaten, ( Deuteronomy 26:2 ) ;

and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water;
a servant of the master of the house that was sent for water, to mix with the wine, at the passover:

follow him;
into the house to which he goes.

Mark 14:13 In-Context

11 They couldn't believe their ears, and promised to pay him well. He started looking for just the right moment to hand him over.
12 On the first of the Days of Unleavened Bread, the day they prepare the Passover sacrifice, his disciples asked him, "Where do you want us to go and make preparations so you can eat the Passover meal?"
13 He directed two of his disciples, "Go into the city. A man carrying a water jug will meet you. Follow him.
14 Ask the owner of whichever house he enters, 'The Teacher wants to know, Where is my guest room where I can eat the Passover meal with my disciples?'
15 He will show you a spacious second-story room, swept and ready. Prepare for us there."
