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 On the first day of unleavened bread, when they sacrificed the Passover, his disciples asked him, "Where do you want us to go and make ready that you may eat the Passover?"
13 He sent two of his disciples, and said to them, "Go into the city, and there you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him,
14 and wherever he enters in, tell the master of the house, 'The Teacher says, "Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?"'
15 He will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Make ready for us there."
16 His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found things as he had said to them, and they prepared the Passover.
