adjective and verb in Mk. vi. 21, 31, the noun in Mt. xxvi. 16.
Vv. 12-16. Arrangements for paschal feast (Mt. xxvi. 17-19, Lk. xxii. 7-13). Mk. is much more circumstantial in this section than Mt., his apparent aim being to explain how Judas did not find his opportunity at the paschal supper, the place of celebration being carefully con- cealed beforehand.—Ver. 12. τῇ π. ἡμέρᾳ τ. a. ὅτετ. πάσχα ἔθυον: again a double note of time, the second clause indicating precisely that by the first day is meant the 14th Nisan. Schanz, following the Greek Fathers, takes πρώτῃ in the first clause as = προτέρᾳ, yielding the same sense as πρὸ T. ἑορ. Τ. πάσχα in John xiii. τ.--ποῦ θέλεις; : the disciples would ask this question in good time, say in the forenoon of the 14th.—Ver. 13. δύο: more exact than Mt.; of course all the disciples would not be sent on such an errand. Lk. names the two.—tmdyere, etc.: the in- structions in Mk. are sufficient to guide the messengers. Mt.’s πρὸς τὸν δεῖνα is manifestly too vague, and could not have been spoken by Jesus.—av@pwrros: water- carrying was generally the occupation of women; hence a man performing the office would be more noticeable.— κεράµιον (neuter of adjective κεράµιος, earthen), an earthen pitcher, here and in

Lk. xxii. 10.—Ver. 14. τὸ κατάλυµά. pov, my guest chamber. This pov of the best texts is interesting as suggesting a previous understanding between Jesus and the householder. It is not necessary to import the miraculous into the narrative.—Ver. 15. ἀνάγαιον (ava, γαῖα = γῆ), a room above the earth, an upper room.—péya, large, enough for the company.—éorpwpévov, furnished with table-cushions. — ἔτοιμον, perhaps a synonym for ἐστρωμένον = furnished, all ready; possibly pointing to the removal of leaven (C.G.T.).
Vv. 17-21. The presence of a traitor announced (Mt. xxvi. 20-25, Lk. xxii. 21- 23).—Ver. 17. ἔρχεται: after sunset He cometh to the place appointed for the feast, presumably after the two who had been sent to make arrangements had rejoined the company.—Ver. 18. 6 ἐσθίων per’ ἐμοῦ : this clause, omitted in Mt., is designed to indicate, not the culprit, but the gravity of his offence = one of you, one who eats bread with me, a table companion.—Ver. 19. els κατὰ els, one by one = els ἕκαστος in Mt.; kata is used adverbially, and hence is followed by els instead of ἕνα. For other instances of this usage of late Greek vide John viii. 9, Rom. xii. 5, and cf. Winer, § xxxvii. 3.—Ver. 20. To the anxious questioning of the disciples Mk
