Mark 14:15

And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover? For the exposition, see the notes at Luke 22:7; ; and at John 13:10; John 13:18; John 13:21....

12-21 Nothing could be less the result of human foresight than the events here related. But our Lord knows all things about us before they come to pass. If we admit him, he will dwell in our hearts. The Son of man goes, as it is written of him, as a lamb to the slaughter; but woe to that man by whom he is betrayed! God's permitting the sins of men, and bringing glory to himself out of them, does not oblige them to sin; nor will this be any excuse for their guilt, or lessen their punishment....

Verse Mark 14:15. _FURNISHED_] Spread with carpets - εστρωμενον - so this word is often used. See WAKEFIELD. But it may also signify the couches on which the guests reclined when eating. It does not appear that the Jews ate the passover now, as their fathers did formerly, _standing, with their shoes on, and their staves in their_ _hands_....

See the notes at Matthew 26:17. Mark 14:12 THEY KILLED THE PASSOVER - The “paschal lamb,” which was slain in keeping the Passover. GO AND PREPARE - Go and provide a lamb, have it roasted, and properly prepared with the usual things to eat with it. Mark 14:13 THE CITY - The city of Jerusalem. They were now in Bethany, about 2 miles from the city. A MAN BEARING A PITCHER OF WATER - This could have been known only by the infinite knowledge of Christ. Such a thing could not have been conjectured, nor was there any concer

EXPOSITION MARK 14:1 NOW AFTER TWO DAYS WAS THE FEAST OF THE PASSOVER AND THE UNLEAVENED BREAD; literally, _the passover and the unleavened _τό πάσχα καὶ τὰ ἄζυμα. It was one and the same festival. The killing of the Paschal lamb took place on the first of the seven days during which the festival lasted, and during the whole of which they used unleavened bread. Josephus describes it as "the festival of the unleavened, called _Phaska _by the Jews." THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND THE SCRIBES. St. Matthew (Matthew 26:3) says, "The chief priests and the elders of the people." The two classes in the Sanhedrim who actually combined to put our Lord to death were those here mentioned by St. Mark. They sought how th

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....

PREPARATION FOR THE LAST SUPPER. Mk. regards the last supper as the Passover; contrast John 13:29; John 18:28; John 19:14. In this incident Jesus shows a supernatural knowledge of circumstances as yet unrealised, as in the case of the triumphal entry (Mark 11:1 f.). But is it not possible that here we have some pre-arrangement intended to baffle Judas and the chief priests? The room, at any rate, is ready, furnished with carpets and couches....
