Mark 14:12-16

Disciples Prepare for the Passover

13 So he sent two of his disciples, telling them, "Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him.

14 Say to the owner of the house he enters, 'The Teacher asks: Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?'

15 He will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there."

16 The disciples left, went into the city and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.

This is the Word of the Lord ... It is meant to change the way that we think, and the way that we live.

The 12 Disciples make Preparation for the Last Supper

In this study lesson from the Easter timeline, the twelve disciples begin the preparation. They didn't realize what was coming in just a short while - the feast is made ready.

Tradition of Passover

Jesus sent Peter and John (Luke 22:8) into town to prepare for the Passover. Jewish customs were very strict in the way food was prepared so the two disciples would have set the table, prepared the Passover lamb and bought unleavened bread among other food and drink. This Passover would become known as "The Last Supper."

Our Preparation for Easter (not the bunny)

In the days to come our study lessons will be covering the rest of the events leading up to Easter Sunday; the day Jesus rose from the tomb. Please read and study the upcoming Easter passages to better understand what Jesus went through in order to save you and I from our sins. 

Love in Christ
