Contextual Overview

7 Then the day of unleavened bread came, on which it was the custom to kill the passover lamb. 8 So Jesus sent Peter and John, and said to them, Go and prepare the passover for us to eat. 9 They said to him, Where do you wish us to prepare? 10 He said to them, Behold, when you enter the city, you will meet a man carrying a skin full of water; follow him. And wherever he enters, 11 Say to the master of the house, Our Teacher says, Where is the guest room, where I may eat the passover with my disciples? 12 And behold, he will show you an upper room, large and furnished; there make ready. 13 And they went and found just as he had said to them; and they prepared the passover. 14 And when the time came, Jesus came and sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. 15 And he said to them, I have desired with desire to eat this passover with you before I suffer; 16 For I say to you, that henceforth, I will not eat it, until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he shall show you a large upper room furnished,.... With all things necessary, to eat and drink out of, at the passover;

there make ready. The Ethiopic version adds, "for us", as in

Mark 14:15. The Persic version renders it, "there prepare a place"; but this was prepared already; the words design the preparation of the passover, and every thing proper for it.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
