John Gill's Exposition
John Gill (1697–1771) · Exposition of the Old and New Testament · 18th-century historical commentary
“And he shall show you a large upper room furnished, etc.] With all things necessary, to eat and drink out of, at the passover; there make ready. The Ethiopic version adds, “for us”, as in (<411415>Mark 14:15). The Persic version renders it, “there prepare a place”; but this was prepared already; the words design the preparation of the passover, and every thing proper for it.”
