Berean Study Bible

And he will show you
This phrase indicates divine orchestration and guidance. The Greek word for "show" is "deixei," which implies a revealing or pointing out. In the context of the Last Supper, this suggests that God is actively involved in the unfolding events. The disciples are not left to their own devices; rather, they are being led by divine providence. This highlights the importance of obedience and trust in God's plan, as He often provides guidance through seemingly ordinary circumstances.

a large upper room
The "large upper room" is significant both historically and theologically. In ancient Jewish homes, the upper room was often a place of gathering and teaching. The Greek word "anagaion" refers to an upper chamber, which was typically more private and spacious. This setting is crucial as it becomes the location for the Last Supper, where Jesus institutes the New Covenant. The size of the room indicates that it was meant to accommodate not just Jesus and the Twelve, but also the early Christian community, symbolizing the inclusivity of the Gospel.

already furnished
The phrase "already furnished" suggests that the room was prepared in advance, indicating forethought and readiness. The Greek word "estrōmenon" implies that everything necessary was already in place. This can be seen as a metaphor for God's provision; He prepares what is needed for His purposes. In a broader sense, it reflects the idea that God equips His people for the tasks He calls them to, providing all that is necessary for the fulfillment of His will.

Make preparations there
The command to "make preparations" involves active participation in God's plan. The Greek word "hetoimasate" means to prepare or make ready. This implies that while God provides the resources and the setting, human responsibility is still required. The disciples are called to prepare for the Passover meal, which foreshadows the sacrifice of Christ. This preparation is both physical and spiritual, reminding believers of the need to be ready for the work God has set before them, and to approach sacred moments with reverence and intentionality.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 12. - And he shall show you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. The house which possessed so large an upper chamber must have been one of considerable size, and evidently belonged to a man of some wealth and position, possibly to Nicodemus or Joseph of Arimathaea. That it perhaps belonged to St. Mark's family has also been suggested. It had evidently been prepared beforehand for the purpose of the feast, in obedience to a previous direction of Jesus. "Furnished" (ἐστρωμώνον,) applies specially to carpets spread over the couches for the reception of guests. "In this large upper chamber thus prepared," said the Lord, "make the necessary arrangements for the Paschal Supper; procuring and preparing the lamb, the unleavened bread, the herbs, and other customary dishes." It seems probable that this" large upper room," evidently belonging to a disciple, or at least to one friendly to Jesus, was the same room which, in the happier hours after the Resurrection, witnessed the appearance of the Risen to the eleven, and, later, the descent of the Holy Ghost at Pentecost.
