And he will show you
This phrase indicates divine orchestration and foreknowledge. The Greek word for "show" is "deixei," which implies a revealing or pointing out. In the context of the Gospel of Mark, this highlights Jesus' omniscience and the fulfillment of His plans. The disciples are guided by Jesus' instructions, demonstrating their trust and obedience to His word. This moment is a reminder of God's guidance in our lives, where He often uses others to reveal His will to us.

a large upper room
The "large upper room" is significant both historically and theologically. The Greek term "anagaion" refers to an upper chamber, often used for dining or gatherings. In first-century Jerusalem, such rooms were typically on the second floor, providing privacy and space for important events. This particular room is traditionally believed to be the site of the Last Supper, a pivotal moment in Christian history. Theologically, it symbolizes a place of communion and fellowship, where Jesus would institute the Lord's Supper, establishing a new covenant with His followers.

furnished and ready
The description "furnished and ready" indicates that the room was prepared in advance, underscoring the providence and meticulous planning of God. The Greek word "estrōmenon" (furnished) suggests that everything necessary for the meal was already in place. This preparation reflects the readiness required in the hearts of believers to receive Christ and participate in His work. It also serves as a metaphor for the spiritual readiness and hospitality that Christians are called to embody.

Make preparations for us there
This command to "make preparations" involves both physical and spiritual readiness. The Greek word "hetoimasate" (make preparations) implies active participation and responsibility. The disciples are tasked with preparing the Passover meal, a significant Jewish tradition that commemorates God's deliverance of Israel from Egypt. In a broader sense, this preparation foreshadows the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus, the Lamb of God, who delivers humanity from sin. For believers, it is a call to prepare our hearts and lives for Christ's presence and work within us.

(15) Furnished and prepared.--The first word implied that it was not a bare, empty chamber, but set out with cushions or divans, on which the guests could recline; the second, that it was specially arranged for the Paschal Supper of that evening.

Verse 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.
