And his disciples went forth, etc..] The two disciples, as the Arabic version has it, Peter and John, set out from Bethany to Jerusalem directly: and came into the city; the city of Jerusalem: and found as he had said unto them; a man bearing a pitcher of water, whom they followed to the house he went into, and addressed the master of the house, as Jesus had bid them; when he showed them an upper room, very commodious and fit for the purpose, as Christ had said; and which is a considerable proof of the prescience of Christ: and they made ready the passover; they bought a lamb; they had it killed in the temple, according to rule; and they brought it to the house, where they were to sup, and got it roasted; and provided unleavened bread, and wine, and bitter herbs, and every thing that was proper for the feast; (see Gill on “<402619>Matthew 26:19”).
