Mark 14:14 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:14

And wheresoever he shall go in
Into whatsoever house he shall enter, go in after him:

and say ye to the good man of the house;
the owner, and master of it, who might be Nicodemus, or Joseph of Arimathea, or some man of note and wealth in Jerusalem, that might have some knowledge of Christ, and faith in him, though he did not openly profess him; since by only saying what follows, he would at once, as he did, direct them to a suitable and convenient room;

the master saith.
The Syriac and Persic versions read, our master saith: he that is yours, and ours, our master Jesus; though that is not expressed, yet it was understood by the master of the family; which confirms the above conjecture, that he was a secret disciple of Christ.

Where is the guest chamber;
the chamber provided for guests that might be expected at the passover:

where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
where it might be done conveniently, and in a proper and comfortable manner; (See Gill on Matthew 26:18).

Mark 14:14 In-Context

12 It was the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. That was the time to sacrifice the Passover lamb. Jesus' disciples asked him, "Where do you want us to go and prepare for you to eat the Passover meal?"

13 So he sent out two of his disciples. He told them, "Go into the city. A man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him.

14 He will enter a house. Say to its owner, 'The Teacher asks, "Where is my guest room? Where can I eat the Passover meal with my disciples?" '

15 He will show you a large upstairs room. It will have furniture and will be ready. Prepare for us to eat there."

16 The disciples left and went into the city. They found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover meal.
