The Key Word — ἑτοιμάσατε, hetoimazōgenerated
The word ἑτοιμάζω (hetoimazō) is a verb meaning 'to prepare' or 'to make ready.' It is used in various contexts, especially in relation to hospitality and making arrangements for events. The form here is an aorist imperative, indicating a command to the disciples to take action.
This command emphasizes the importance of preparation in the context of the Passover meal. Jesus instructs His disciples to get everything ready, highlighting the significance of the occasion and the need for proper arrangements.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as 'And he will show you a large upper room, already furnished. Make preparations there.' This is consistent with the KJV and ASV, which also emphasize the act of preparation.
Where the translations differ is primarily in the rendering of the Greek word ἑτοιμάσατε. The BSB uses 'make preparations,' while the KJV opts for 'make ready.' The variations reflect different emphases on the nature of the preparations.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb is δείξει, will show, which governs the entire clause. It is followed by an indirect object, ὑμῖν, to you, indicating to whom the action is directed. The structure includes an adverbial phrase ἐκεῖ, there, specifying the location for the preparations.
The command to prepare, ἑτοιμάσατε, follows the main clause, emphasizing the action that the disciples are to take in the specified location.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The word δείκνυμι appears in the Septuagint as a translation for the Hebrew verb רָאָה, meaning 'to see' or 'to show.' This connection highlights the continuity of God's revelation and guidance from the Old Testament to the New Testament.
The term ἑτοιμάζω also has roots in the Septuagint, where it corresponds to Hebrew verbs related to preparation, emphasizing the importance of readiness in both the Jewish and Christian traditions.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

δείκνυμι is a verb meaning 'to show' or 'to make known,' used in various contexts to indicate displaying or proving something. It appears in the New Testament in verses such as Matthew 4:8 and James 2:18. The word is built from a prolonged form of an obsolete primary verb with the same meaning, and it can also be found in different dialects and forms throughout Greek literature.
δείκνυμι. The verb is not.so common as we might have expected, but for the ordinary meaning we may cite P Oxy III. 4717° (ii/A.p.) σύνβολα δεικνύντα, “ Bi showing signs,” and for the metaphorical, as Jas 218, 20. 11. 237% 2! (a.p.. 186) οὐδεμίαν μὲν οὔτε ὕβριν οὔτε ἄλλο ἀδίκημα εἰς αὑτὸν ἁπλῶς ἐφ᾽ ᾧ μέμφεται δεῖξαι ἔχων, “he could not indeed cite a single insult or any other act of injustice against himself with which he charged me” (Kdd.): cf. 2.

The Greek word ἀνάγαιον (i.e., *anageon*) refers to an upper room or a space above ground, often associated with the second floor of a building. It is synonymous with ὑπερῷον and is used in the New Testament in Mark 14:15 and Luke 22:12. Variants in spelling include ἀνώγαιον and ἀνώγεον, with some lexicons noting these differences.
* ἀνάγαιον (Rec. ἀνώγεον; on the form, v. Rutherford, NPhr., 357 f.; MM, VGT, s.v.), -ου, τό
(< ἀνά, γῆ),
an upper room: Mk 14:15, Lk 22:12.†
SYN.: ὑπερῷον.
ἀνάγαιον, -ov, τό, (fr. ava and γαῖα i. 6. γῆ). prop. anything above the ground; hence a room in the upper part of a house: Mk. xiv. 15; Lk. xxii. 12,(in GL T Tr WH). Also written ἀνώγαιον (which Tdf. formerly adopted ; ef. Xen. an. 5, 4, 29 [where Dind. dvaxeiwv]), ἀνώγεον (Rece.), ἀνώγεων ; on this variety in writing cf. Lob. ad Phryn. p. 297 sq.; [Rutherford, New Phryn. p. 358]; Fritzsche on Mk. p. 611 sq.; Β. 18 (12); [WH. App. p- 151).
ἀνώγεον (anōgeon) — an upper room.
Included with: ἀνώγαιον
or ἀνώγεον, τό, (ἄνω, γαῖα) anything raised from the ground: the upper floor of a house, used as a granary, [Refs 5th c.BC+]; as a dining-room, [NT]
2. prison, [Refs]; ἀνάγαιον and ἀνόκαιον are also found in codices,[Refs]

The references to "room" in (Matthew 23:6; Mark 12:39; Luke 14:7,8; 20:46) signify the highest place on the highest couch round the dinner or supper table --the "uppermost seat", as it is more accurately rendered in (Luke 11:43)
Is sometimes synonymous with seat or place, as in Lu 14:8-10; 20:46.

The Greek word στρωννύω (i.e., *stronnuo*) means to spread or strew, particularly in the context of making a bed or furnishing a room. It appears in the New Testament in passages like Matthew 21:8 and Mark 11:8, where it describes spreading garments on the road, as well as in Acts 9:34 regarding making a bed. The entries consistently emphasize its use for spreading or preparing surfaces.

The Greek word ἐκεῖ (i.e., *ekei*) is an adverb meaning 'there' or 'in that place.' It is often used in the New Testament to indicate location and can also imply direction when paired with verbs of motion, functioning similarly to 'thither.' The word appears in various contexts, including euphemistic references to the dead. Notably, Thayer's entry mentions its use in pleonastic constructions.
ἐκεῖ, adv. of place, there; a. properly: Mt. ii. 13, 15; v. 24, and freq. In LK. xiii. 28 ἐκεῖ is not used for ev ἐκείνῳ τῷ καιρῷ foll. by ὅταν (at that time... when etc.), but means in that place whither ye have been banished; cf. Meyer ad loc. οἱ ἐκεῖ, se. ὄντες, Standing there, Mt. xxvi. 71 [Tr mrg. αὐτοὶ ἐκεῖ]. It answers to a relative adv.: οὗ τὸ πνεῦμα, ἐκεῖ ἐλευθερία, 2 Co. iii. 17 ἑαυτὸν ἔκδ. διδόναι τῷ Rec.; Mt. vi. 21; xviii. 20; xxiv. 28; Mk. vi.10; Lk. xii. 34; Hebraistically, where a preceding adv. or rel. pron. has already attracted the verb, ἐκεῖ is added to this verb pleonastically: Rey. xii. 6 GT Tr WH (ὅπου ἔχει ἐκεῖ τόπον), 14 (ὅπου τρέφεται ἐκεῖ) ; cf. Deut. iv. 5, 14, 26; 1 Mace. xiv. 34, and what was said p. 86", 5 on the pron. αὐτός after a relative. b. by a negligent use common also in the classics it stands after verbs of motion for ἐκεῖσε, thither: so after…

The Greek word ἑτοιμάζω (hetoimazō) means to prepare or make ready. It is derived from the root ἕτοιμος and is used in various contexts, including hospitality and divine preparation for events. In the New Testament, it appears in passages like Matthew 22:4 and Mark 14:15, often relating to preparing meals or arrangements.

40 occurrences in the New Testament, rendered 18 different ways. The commonest English word for it is not its meaning — it is one translator's decision, repeated.
Parsing tells you the form; the treebank tells you the job. Counted over all 41 occurrences — a word inside a phrase counts towards whatever that phrase is doing.

branches are dictionary forms, so endings do not split one phrase into five; the number on a branch is how many times the New Testament takes that path
Counted over the 91 Old Testament verses where this Greek word stands: which Hebrew word keeps standing there too. A correspondence of verses rather than a word-by-word alignment, so read the percentage as strength of evidence, not as a claim about any single verse.
