Preparation for the Last Supper. Mk. regards the last supper as the Passover; contrast John 13:29; John 18:28; John 19:14. In this incident Jesus shows a supernatural knowledge of circumstances as yet unrealised, as in the case of the triumphal entry (Mark 11:1 f.). But is it not possible that here we have some pre-arrangement intended to baffle Judas and the chief priests? The room, at any rate, is ready, furnished with carpets and couches.
