Theophylact of Ohrid, on Mark 14:17

“And when evening was come, he cometh with the twelve.”

“But how could they eat reclining, when the law ordered that standing and upright they should eat the Passover? It is probable that they had first fulfilled the legal Passover, and had reclined, when He began to give them His own Passover.”
