Preparing the Passover

The disciples ask where to prepare the Passover, and Jesus gives them a sequence of signs and instructions in the city. They find the room as he described and make the Passover ready.

O¹²n the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed, Jesus’ disciples asked Him, “Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?” ¹³So He sent two of His disciples and told them, “Go into the city, and a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him, ¹⁴and whichever house he enters, say to the owner, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is My guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?’ ¹⁵And he will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there.” ¹⁶So the disciples left and went into the city, where they found everything as Jesus had described. And they prepared the Passover.
