Mark 14:16 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:16

And his disciples went forth
The two disciples, as the Arabic version has it, Peter and John, set out from Bethany to Jerusalem directly:

and came into the city;
the city of Jerusalem:

and found as he had said unto them;
a man bearing a pitcher of water, whom they followed to the house he went into, and addressed the master of the house, as Jesus had bid them; when he showed them an upper room, very commodious and fit for the purpose, as Christ had said; and which is a considerable proof of the prescience of Christ:

and they made ready the passover;
they bought a lamb; they had it killed in the temple, according to rule; and they brought it to the house, where they were to sup, and got it roasted; and provided unleavened bread, and wine, and bitter herbs, and every thing that was proper for the feast; (See Gill on Matthew 26:19).

Mark 14:16 In-Context

14 And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the master of the house, `The Master saith, "Where is the guestchamber where I shall eat the Passover with My disciples?"'

15 And he will show you a large upper room furnished and prepared; there make ready for us."

16 And His disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found it as He had said unto them; and they made ready the Passover.

17 And in the evening He came with the twelve.

18 And as they sat and ate, Jesus said, "Verily I say unto you, one of you who eateth with Me shall betray Me."
