Mark 14:13

And he sendeth forth two of his disciples
Peter and John, as appears from ( Luke 22:8 ) ;

and saith unto them, go ye into the city;
the city of Jerusalem; for there only the passover might be eaten, ( Deuteronomy 26:2 ) ;

and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water;

into the house to which he goes.

Mark 14:13 In-Context

11 They gladly listened to his proposal, and promised to give him a sum of money. So he looked out for an opportunity to betray Him.

12 On the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread--the day for killing the Passover lamb--His disciples asked Him, "Where shall we go and prepare for you to eat the Passover?"

13 So He sent two of His disciples with instructions, saying, "Go into the city, and you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water: follow him,

14 and whatever house he enters, tell the master of the house, `The Rabbi asks, Where is my room where I can eat the Passover with my disciples?'

15 Then he will himself show you a large room upstairs, ready furnished: there make preparation for us."
