Contextual Overview

7 The day of matzah came, on which the Pesach must be sacrificed. 8 He sent Kefa and Yochanan, saying, "Go and prepare the Pesach for us, that we may eat." 9 They said to him, "Where do you want us to prepare?" 10 He said to them, "Behold, when you have entered into the city, a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you. Follow him into the house which he enters. 11 Tell the master of the house, 'The Teacher says to you, "Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Pesach with my talmidim?"' 12 He will show you a large, furnished upper room. Make preparations there." 13 They went, found things as he had told them, and they prepared the Pesach. 14 When the hour had come, he sat down with the twelve apostles. 15 He said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this Pesach with you before I suffer, 16 for I tell you, I will no longer by any means eat of it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they said unto him, where wilt thou that we prepare?] Meaning, not in what village, town, or city, for it was a fixed and determined thing, that the passover should be eaten at Jerusalem, and nowhere else; see Deuteronomy 16:2, but in what house in Jerusalem?

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
