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 were delighted when they heard why he had come, and they promised to give him money. So he began looking for an opportunity to betray Jesus.
12 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb is sacrificed, Jesus’ disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go to prepare the Passover meal for you?”
13 So Jesus sent two of them into Jerusalem with these instructions: “As you go into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him.
14 At the house he enters, say to the owner, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room where I can eat the Passover meal with my disciples?’
15 He will take you upstairs to a large room that is already set up. That is where you should prepare our meal.”
