12On the first day of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrifice the Passover lamb, his disciples asked him, “Where do you want us to go and prepare the Passover so that you may eat it?” 13So he sent two of his disciples and told them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him.14Wherever he enters, tell the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher 15He will show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready. Make the preparations for us there.” 16So the disciples went out, entered the city, and found it just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover. 17When evening came, he arrived with the Twelve. 18While they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me—one who is eating with me.” 19They began to be distressed and to say to him one by one, “Surely not I?” 20He said to them, “It is one of the Twelve—the one who is dipping bread in the bowl with me. 21For the Son of Man

Gill's Notes on the Bible
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; a servant of the master of the house that was sent for water, to mix with the wine, at the passover:
follow him; into the house to which he goes.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See the notes at Matthew 26:17-19.
Mark 14:12
They killed the passover - The âpaschal lamb,â 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 concert between him and the man that âat that timeâ he should be in a particular place to meet them, for the disciples themselves proposed the inquiry. If Jesus knew a circumstance like that, then he in the same way must have known all things; then he sees âallâ the actions of men - hears every word, and marks every thought; then the righteous are under his care, and the wicked, much as they may wish to be unseen, cannot escape the notice of his eye.
Mark 14:14
The goodman of the house - This signifies simply the âmasterâ of the house. The original word expresses nothing respecting his character, whether it was good or bad.
The guest-chamber - A chamber for guests or friends - an unoccupied room.
Mark 14:15
A large upper room - The word used here denotes the upper room devoted to purposes of prayer, repose, and often of eating. See the notes at Matthew 9:1-8.
Furnished and prepared - Literally, âspreadâ and âready.â Spread with a carpet, or with âcouchesâ such as were used in eating. See the notes at Matthew 23:6.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Mark 14:13. Bearing a pitcher of water — How correct is the foreknowledge of Jesus Christ! Even the minutest circumstances are comprehended by it! An honest employment, howsoever mean, is worthy the attention of God; and even a man bearing a pitcher of water is marked in all his steps, and is an object of the merciful regards of the Most High. This man was employed in carrying home the water which was to be used for baking the unleavened bread on the following day; for on that day it was not lawful to carry any: hence they were obliged to fetch it on the preceding evening.
