Exegesis
The dative hemin {ἡμῖν | hē-MÎN} is a dative of advantage, specifying for whom the preparations are to be made (“for us”). In translation, the participial and adjectival modifiers of anagaion are rendered as coordinated descriptive phrases (“furnished and ready”) to maintain natural English flow while preserving the sense of a fully prepared space. The Greek clause order, placing “there” before the imperative, is reflected in the formal rendering with “there prepare,” while the dynamic rendering slightly reshapes the order (“make the preparations there”) to sound more idiomatic in contemporary English.
In context — Mark 14:15
And he will show you a large upper room furnished and ready; there prepare for us .
