Matthäus 26:19 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 26:19

And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them
They went into the city of Jerusalem; they met the man carrying a pitcher of water home; they followed him into the house he entered; they addressed the master of the house, in the manner Christ directed, who showed them a large upper room, prepared with all proper furniture for such an occasion, as Christ had foretold:

and they made ready the passover;
they went and bought a lamb; they carried it to the temple to be slain in the court, where it was presented as a passover lamb for such a number of persons; they had it flayed, cut up, the fat taken out, and burnt on the altar, and its blood sprinkled on the foot of it: they then brought it to the house where they were to eat it; here they roasted it, and provided bread, and wine, and bitter herbs, and a sauce called "Charoseth", into which the herbs were dipped: and, in short, everything that was necessary.

Matthäus 26:19 In-Context

17 An dem ersten Tage der ungesäuerten Brote aber traten die Jünger zu Jesu und sprachen: Wo willst du, daß wir dir bereiten, das Passah zu essen?

18 Er aber sprach: Gehet in die Stadt zu dem und dem und sprechet zu ihm: Der Lehrer sagt: Meine Zeit ist nahe; bei dir halte ich das Passah mit meinen Jüngern.

19 Und die Jünger taten, wie Jesus ihnen befohlen hatte, und bereiteten das Passah.

20 Als es aber Abend geworden war, legte er sich mit den Zwölfen zu Tische.

21 Und während sie aßen, sprach er: Wahrlich, ich sage euch: Einer von euch wird mich überliefern.
