Mark 14:15

"and wherever he enters in, tell the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, “Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’"

Key Reflection

This verse highlights Jesus' humble request and his intention to keep the Passover meal, symbolizing the establishment of a new covenant through his sacrifice. By asking for a guest room, Jesus emphasizes the importance of proper hospitality and prepares for the final supper that will be both a fulfillment of prophecy and a preview of the Eucharist.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 15. A large upper room. The word used here denotes the upper room devoted to purposes of prayer, repose, and often of eating. See Barnes "Mt 9:2". Furnished and prepared. Literally, spread and ready. Spread with a carpet, or with couches, such as were used in eating. See Barnes "Mt 23:6". __________________________________________________________________
