Mark 14:15

Mark 14:15

13 And He sent out two of His disciples and said to them, “Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him.

14 Wherever he goes in, say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples?” ’

15 Then he will show you a large upper room, furnished and prepared; there make ready for us.”

16 So His disciples went out, and came into the city, and found it just as He had said to them; and they prepared the Passover.

17 ^aIn the evening He came with the twelve.

18 Now as they sat and ate, Jesus said, “Assuredly, I say to you, ^aone of you who eats with Me will betray Me.”

19 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to Him one by one, “Is it I?”¹ And another said, “Is it I?”

20 He answered and said to them, “It is one of the twelve, who dips with Me in the dish.

21 ^aThe Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had never been born.”

Jesus Institutes the Lord’s Supper

22 ^aAnd as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them and said, “Take,¹ eat; this is My ^bbody.”

23 Then He took the cup, and when He had given thanks He gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

24 And He said to them, “This is My blood of the¹ new covenant, which is shed for many.

25 Assuredly, I say to you, I will no longer drink of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”

26 ^aAnd when they had sung¹ a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

27 ^aThen Jesus said to them, “All of you will be made to stumble¹ because of Me this night, for it is written:
^b‘I will strike the Shepherd,
And the sheep will be scattered.’

And he (kai autov). Emphatic, and he himself.

A large upper room (anagaion mega). Anything above ground (gh), and particularly upstairs as here. Here and in Luke 22:12. Example in Xenophon. Jesus wishes to observe this last feast with his disciples alone, not with others as was often done. Evidently this friend of Jesus was a man who would understand.

Furnished (estrwmenon). Perfect passive participle of strwnnumi, state of readiness. "Strewed with carpets, and with couches properly spread" (Vincent).
