Mark 14:16

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

And they made ready the passover. This would consist in obtaining the Paschal lamb, and taking it to the temple to be sacrificed by the priests. It would then be brought to the house to be cooked; and the unleavened bread, the bitter herbs and the wine would have to be provided, and the water for purification.

After all these preparations had been made, the two disciples would return to their Master.
