Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Mark 14:12-31

In these verses we have, I. Christ's eating the passover with his disciples, the night before he died, with the joys and comforts of which ordinance he prepared himself for his approaching sorrows, the full prospect of which did not indispose him for that solemnity. Note, No apprehension of trouble, come or coming, should put us by, or put us out of frame for, our attendance on holy ordinances, as we have opportunity for it. 1. Christ ate the passover at the usual time when the other Jews did,... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 14:12-16

14:12-16 On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when they were sacrificing the Passover Lamb, Jesus' disciples said to him, "Where do you wish us to go and make the necessary preparations for you to eat the Passover?" He despatched two of his disciples, and said to them. "Go into the city, and there will meet you a man carrying an earthen pitcher of water. Follow him, and wherever he enters in, say to the householder, 'The teacher says, "Where is my room, where I may eat the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 14:14

And wheresoever he shall go in ,.... Into whatsoever house he shall enter, go in after him: and say ye to the good man of the house ; the owner, and master of it, who might be Nicodemus, or Joseph of Arimathea, or some man of note and wealth in Jerusalem, that might have some knowledge of Christ, and faith in him, though he did not openly profess him; since by only saying what follows, he would at once, as he did, direct them to a suitable and convenient room; the master saith . The... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 14:15

And he will show you a large upper room ,.... 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. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 14:14

Say ye to the good man of the house - ειπατε τῳ οικοδεσποτῃ - Say ye to the master of the house. The good man and the good woman mean, among us, the master and mistress of the house. A Hindoo woman never calls her husband by his name; but simply, the man of the house. Where is the guest chamber? - Respectable householders, says Mr. Ward, have a room which they call the strangers' room, ( utit' hu - shala ), which is especially set apart for the use of guests. This appears to have... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - 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. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 14:10-52

Betrayal. We now approach the darkest of all the dark hours through which our Redeemer passed in this world, so overcast with clouds. "The Son of man is betrayed into the hands of men." It was by "one of the twelve," and "unto the chief priests," and for "money I. What lessons on THE FRAILTY OF THE POOR HUMAN HEART ! The hand that received "the sop," that dipped into the same dish with Jesus, received into its hardened palm the miserable pittance—a slave's price. Ah! even... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 14:12-16

Preparing for the Passover. The festival of "unleavened cakes," or "unleavened bread," commenced on the night of the 14th of Abib or Nisan ( Exodus 12:16 ) after sunset; that day, corresponding to our 16th of March, was therefore popularly called the first of the festival, because it was the preparation day for it. This preparation of the Passover, i.e. the killing of the lamb, etc., had to take place between three and six o'clock, the ninth and twelfth hours of the solar day.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 14:12-21

The Paschal supper. I. THE DUTIFUL MIND IS THE CLEAR - SEEING AND THE PREPARED MIND . What struck the evangelists was the calm foresight and method of Jesus. It was like the strategy of a general; the presence of mind of one who holds the clue to events, because he knows the moral sequence. On another occasion "Jesus himself knew what he would do." Here the disciples "found even as he told them." So generally, "everything will be found as Jesus has declared." II.... read more
