Mark 14:12-16

Preparing the Passover

12 On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, ^[a] when the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed, Jesus’ disciples asked Him, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?” ¹

13 So He sent two of His disciples and told them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him,

14 and whichever house he enters, say to the owner, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is My guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?’

15 And he will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.”

16 So the disciples left and went into the city, where they found everything as Jesus had described. And they prepared the Passover.
