What does Mark 14:12 mean?
Barnes' Notes
Verses 12,13. They killed the passover. The paschal lamb, which was slain in keeping the passover.
Go and prepare. Go and prepare a lamb, have it roasted, and properly prepared with the usual things to eat with it.
The city. The city of Jerusalem. They were now in Bethany, about two miles from the city.
A man bearing a pitcher of water. This could have been known only by the infinite knowledge of Christ. Such a thing could not have been conjectured, nor was there any concert between him and the man, that at that time he should be in a particular place to meet them, for the disciples themselves proposed the inquiry. If Jesus knew a circumstance like that, then he, in the same way, must have known all things. Then he sees all the actions of man; hears every word, and marks every thought. Then the righteous are under his care; and the wicked, much as they may wish to be unseen, cannot escape the notice of his eye.
