'Preparations' in the Bible

He sent messengers ahead of Him, and on the way they entered a village of the Samaritans to make preparations for Him.

But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me.”

"But God said to him, "'Foolish man, this night your life is demanded from you; and these preparations--for whom shall they be?'

So Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover meal."

Then he will show you a large, furnished room upstairs. Make the preparations there.”
