Matteo 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.

Matteo 26:19 In-Context

17 OR nel primo giorno degli azzimi, i discepoli vennero a Gesù, dicendogli: Ove vuoi che noi ti apparecchiamo da mangiar la pasqua?

18 Ed egli disse: Andate nella città ad un tale, e ditegli: Il Maestro dice: Il mio tempo è vicino; io farò la pasqua in casa tua, coi miei discepoli.

19 E i discepoli fecero come Gesù avea loro ordinato, ed apparecchiarono la pasqua.

20 E quando fu sera, egli si mise a tavola co’ dodici.

21 E mentre mangiavano, disse: Io vi dico in verità, che un di voi mi tradirà.
