Luke 22:7-13

[7] Then  came  the day  of unleavened bread,  when  the passover  must  be killed.  [8] And  he sent  Peter  and  John,  saying,  Go  and prepare  the passover,  that  we may eat.  [9] And  they said  unto him,  Where  wilt thou  that we prepare?  [10] And  he said  unto them,  Behold,  are entered  into  the city,  a man  meet  bearing  a pitcher  of water;  follow  him  into  the house  he entereth in.  [11] And  ye shall say  unto the goodman  of the house,  The Master  saith  Where  the guestchamber,  where  I shall eat  the passover  with  disciples?  [12] And  he shall shew  a large  upper room  furnished:  there  make ready.  [13] And  they went,  and found  as  he had said  unto them:  and  they made ready  the passover. 

What does Luke 22:7-13 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Luke recorded more details of these preparations than the other synoptic evangelists. Against the backdrop of a plot to arrest Him, Jesus comes across as the one who is in control and is quietly directing the events leading to the Cross (cf. Luke 19:29-35).
