Mark 14:12-16

12On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when it was customary to sacrifice the Passover lamb, Jesus' disciples asked him, "Where do you want us to go and make preparations for you to eat the Passover?"
13So he sent two of his disciples, telling them, "Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him. 14Say to the owner of the house he enters, 'The Teacher asks: Where is my guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?' 15He will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there."
16The disciples left, went into the city and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.

What strikes me are verses 13-15. That the disciples remembered these exact words of Jesus and passed them down. Did Jesus see this man carrying water or was every moment already pre-ordained?

Also, Mark doesn't mention this outright - but there was no lamb at this passover meal. Jesus was the lamb. He is both the shepherd and the lamb.
