This particular upper room is significant as it is the setting for the Last Supper, a pivotal event in the New Testament. The "large upper room" suggests a space that could accommodate Jesus and His disciples, indicating the importance of the event. Upper rooms were often used for prayer and teaching, as seen in <a href="/acts/1-13.htm">Acts 1:13</a>, where the disciples gathered after Jesus' ascension. This setting foreshadows the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, which also took place in an upper room.furnished and ready The room being "furnished and ready" implies that it was prepared in advance, possibly by a follower of Jesus who understood the significance of the Passover meal. This preparation reflects the divine orchestration of events leading to Jesus' crucifixion. The readiness of the room symbolizes the fulfillment of God's plan and the preparedness required for the new covenant that Jesus would establish. The furnishings would have included the necessary items for a Passover meal, connecting this event to the Jewish tradition and highlighting Jesus as the fulfillment of the Passover lamb (<a href="/1_corinthians/5-7.htm">1 Corinthians 5:7</a>).Make preparations for us there.” Jesus instructs His disciples to make preparations, emphasizing the importance of the Passover meal. This directive underscores the role of the disciples in participating in God's plan and the transition from the old covenant to the new covenant through Jesus' sacrifice. The preparations would have involved procuring the elements of the Passover meal, such as unleavened bread and wine, which Jesus would later use to institute the Lord's Supper. This act of preparation is a call to readiness and obedience, reflecting the disciples' role in the unfolding of redemptive history.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus.htm">Jesus</a> The central figure in this passage, Jesus is preparing for the Passover with His disciples.
