Mark 14:12-16
1599 Geneva Bible
12 ¶ (A)[a]Now the first day of unleavened bread, [b]when [c]they sacrificed the [d]Passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare, that thou mayest eat the Passover?
13 Then he sent forth two of his disciples, and said unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall a man meet you bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.
14 And whithersoever he goeth in, say ye to the good man of the house, The master saith, Where is the lodging where I shall eat the Passover with my disciples?
15 And he will show you an [e]upper chamber which is large, trimmed and prepared: there make it ready for us.
16 So his disciples went forth, and came to the city, and found as he had said unto them, and made ready the Passover.
