And he sent forth two of his disciples, and said unto them,
Go into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him.
All Commentaries on Mark 14:13 Go To Mark 14
Tertullian of Carthage
AD 220
Nor will it be incongruous to interpret figuratively the fact that, when the Lord was about to celebrate the last Passover, he told the disciples who were sent to make preparation that they would meet a man bearing water. He thus points out the place for celebrating the Passover by the sign of water.
