Mark 14:15 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:15

And he will show you a large upper room
A room in the highest part of the house, large enough for such a company, for thirteen persons, which was the number of Christ and his disciples:

furnished and prepared;
with a table, and a sufficient number of couches to sit, or lie upon, and with all proper vessels necessary on such an occasion:

there make ready for us;
the passover.

Mark 14:15 In-Context

13 And he sent two of his disciples and said to them, "Go into the city and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him,

14 and wherever he enters, say to the master of the house, 'The Teacher says, "Where is my guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?" '

15 And he will show you a large upstairs room furnished [and] ready, and prepare for us there."

16 And the disciples went out and came into the city and found [everything] just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

17 And [when it] was evening, he arrived with the twelve.
