And he will show you a large upper room
In the context of the Last Supper, the "large upper room" refers to a space in a house that was often used for gatherings or special occasions. Upper rooms were common in Jewish homes, typically located on the second floor, providing privacy and a place for important events. This particular room was large enough to accommodate Jesus and His disciples, indicating the significance of the gathering. The use of an upper room is also seen inActs 1:13, where the disciples gathered after Jesus' ascension, suggesting a place of fellowship and prayer. The room's size and location highlight the importance of the event that would unfold there, the institution of the Lord's Supper.

already furnished
The room being "already furnished" suggests that it was prepared in advance, possibly indicating divine providence in the arrangements for the Passover meal. This detail underscores the readiness and hospitality of the host, who may have been a follower of Jesus. The furnishings would have included the necessary items for a Passover meal, such as tables, cushions for reclining, and utensils. This preparation aligns with the Jewish custom of ensuring everything was in place for the Passover, a significant feast commemorating Israel's deliverance from Egypt (Exodus 12). The readiness of the room reflects the meticulous planning and fulfillment of God's purposes.

Make preparations there.
Jesus instructs His disciples to "make preparations there," emphasizing the importance of the Passover meal they were about to share. This preparation involved procuring the lamb, unleavened bread, wine, and bitter herbs, all elements of the traditional Passover Seder. The directive to prepare highlights the disciples' role in participating in God's plan and the significance of the meal as a precursor to Jesus' impending sacrifice. The Passover itself is a type of Christ, symbolizing deliverance and redemption, with Jesus as the ultimate Passover Lamb (1 Corinthians 5:7). This preparation sets the stage for the new covenant Jesus would establish through His death and resurrection.

God prepares the way for His purposes to be fulfilled. Just as the room was prepared, God prepares our hearts and circumstances for His work.

Obedience to Divine Instruction
The disciples followed Jesus' instructions without question. We are called to trust and obey God's guidance, even when the path is not fully clear.

Significance of Fellowship
The Upper Room symbolizes a place of intimate fellowship with Christ. We should seek to cultivate spaces in our lives where we can commune deeply with God and fellow believers.

Symbolism of the Passover
The Passover meal foreshadows Christ's sacrifice. Understanding the Old Testament roots enriches our appreciation of the New Covenant.

Jesus has just sent Peter and John ahead (Luke 22:8-10), telling them that a man carrying a jar of water will meet them and lead them to the right place.

• This detail shows Christ’s sovereign foreknowledge—nothing is accidental (John 2:25;Mark 14:13-15).

• As with the signs given to Saul in1 Samuel 10:2-7, God often confirms His word through precise, observable events.

• The disciples’ task is simple: follow and watch. God provides the guide; they supply the obedience.

a large upper room

Upper rooms in first-century Jerusalem were private, elevated spaces, ideal for gatherings (Acts 1:13;2 Kings 4:10).

• “Large” assures room for Jesus and the Twelve, plus space for reclining at table (Luke 22:14).

• Previous moments of revelation happened in similar settings—think of Pentecost in an upper room (Acts 2:1-4)—reminding us that God meets His people in prepared, set-apart places.

• Hospitality matters; an unnamed homeowner willingly opens his best room (Hebrews 13:2).

already furnished

“And he will show you a large upper room, already furnished.” –Luke 22:12

• The table, cushions, and Passover implements are in place before the disciples arrive. God’s provision precedes human action (Psalm 23:5;Philippians 4:19).

• Nothing left to chance: even the smallest details of redemption’s timetable are under divine control (Luke 12:30-32).

• Like the widow’s jar of oil prepared for Elijah (1 Kings 17:9-16), this room illustrates that when God calls, He equips.

Make preparations there

With the location secured, Peter and John still must:

• Purchase and roast the Passover lamb (Exodus 12:3-6).

• Set out unleavened bread, bitter herbs, and wine (Exodus 12:8).

• Arrange seating for the meal that will become the Lord’s Supper (Luke 22:19-20).

Their obedience partners with God’s provision—our hands complete what God’s heart has planned (James 2:22). The Passover points to Jesus, “our Passover Lamb” (1 Corinthians 5:7), soon to be sacrificed for sin (John 1:29).

summary

Luke 22:12 reveals a Savior who has every detail in hand: He directs His followers to the right guide, the right place, and the fully supplied setting. The disciples’ part is simply to trust and prepare. God’s sovereignty and human obedience work together so that, in a room readied before they arrive, the final Passover and first Lord’s Supper can unfold right on schedule.

Verse 12. -And he shall show you a largeupper room furnished: there make ready. The house which possessed so large an upper chamber must have been one of considerable size, and evidently belonged to a man of some wealth and position, possibly to Nicodemus or Joseph of Arimathaea. That it perhaps belonged to St. Mark's family has also been suggested. It had evidently been prepared beforehand for the purpose of the feast, in obedience to a previous direction of Jesus. "Furnished" (ἐστρωμώνον,) applies specially to carpets spread over the couches for the reception of guests. "In this large upper chamber thus prepared," said the Lord, "make the necessary arrangements for the Paschal Supper; procuring and preparing the lamb, the unleavened bread, the herbs, and other customary dishes." It seems probable that this" large upper room," evidently belonging to a disciple, or at least to one friendly to Jesus, was the same room which, in the happier hoursafter the Resurrection, witnessed the appearance of the Risen to the eleven, and, later, the descent of the Holy Ghost at Pentecost.
