Jesus Sends Peter and John to Prepare the Passoverby CBPepper

Mark 14:13

And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.

The sending of the two disciples into the city to meet the man bearing the pitcher of water belongs to the account of the self-denial and self-sacrifice of Jesus Christ in behalf of humanity. That same account holds together His betrayal by Judas, His denial by Peter, His trial in the judgment hall, His scourging, and His crucifixion. These sufferings are to be dwelt upon deeply, and such earnest contemplation moves hearts.
