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 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

THE PASSOVER AND THE INSTITUTION OF THE SUPPER . 1 . Comparison of the records . The memorial Passover differed from the Egyptian or original Passover in several points. A still greater change is now made. The substance now takes the place of the symbol. The antitype supersedes the type.... read more

The Paschal supper. The Lord's Supper is a distinctively Christian ordinance. Yet this record shows us that it was our Lord's design that it should be linked on to an observance with which his disciples were already familiar. He thus took advantage of a principle in human nature, and connected the associations and recollections which to the Hebrew mind were most sacred, with what was to be one of the holiest and most pathetic engagements of his people throughout all time. I. THE ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 14:12-26

The Lord's Supper. During the process of the betrayal, the "first day of unleavened bread" came round, and "the Master," with "his disciples" in "a large upper room furnished and ready," sat and together partook of the Passover. It was the last time. The long series of observances begun in Egypt had now come to an end. Before the next year should bring round the time of the Passover, it would be "fulfilled in the kingdom of God." A deeper and wider meaning would be given to it. Another... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 14:15

And he will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready. He himself, that is, the goodman of the house; perhaps John Mark. This upper room was furnished and ready ( ἐστρωμένον ἕτοιμον ); furnished, that is, with table and couches and tapestry, and in all respects ready for the purpose. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 14:16

And they made ready the passover . This would consist in obtaining the Paschal lamb, and taking it to the temple to be sacrificed by the priests. It would then be brought to the house to be cooked; and the unleavened bread, the bitter herbs and the wine would have to be provided, and the water for purification. After all these preparations had been made, the two disciples would return to their Master. read more

And when it was evening he cometh with the twelve . It was in the evening that the lamb was to be eaten. Peter and John having returned from their preparation, the twelve (including Judas Iscariot) all went back with their Master to Jerusalem. read more

The betrayer denounced. I. THE SHADOW AT THE FEAST , Not fear, as of a criminal under sting of conscience; nor over-anxiety, the specter that sits with the worldling at his board; but moral repugnance expressing itself in sympathetic sorrow. An inward sense of interrupted sympathy and fellowship. II. THE BETRAYER INDICATED . It is necessary to declare what it is which prevents the full communion of the household of Christ. This is done in order: 1 . To awaken the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 14:18

Verily I say unto you, One of you shall betray me, even he that eateth with me ( ὁ ἐσθίων μετ ἐμοῦ ) . Much had doubtless happened before our Lord said this; but St. Mark only records the important circumstances. These words of our Lord were uttered with great solemnity. The presence of the traitor was a burden upon his spirit, and cast a gloom over this usually joyous festival. A question here arises whether Judas remained to partake of the Holy Communion when our Lord... read more
