‏ Mark 14:15

 And he ( κα αυτος ). Emphatic, and he himself.

 A large upper room ( αναγαιον μεγα ). Anything above ground ( γη ), and particularly upstairs as here. Here and in Lu 22:12. Example in Xenophon. Jesus wishes to observe this last feast with his disciples alone, not with others as was often done. Evidently this friend of Jesus was a man who would understand.

 Furnished ( εστρωμενον ). Perfect passive participle of  στρωννυμ, state of readiness. "Strewed with carpets, and with couches properly spread" (Vincent).
