Luke 22:7-13

LUKE—NOTE ON Luke 22:7 on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. See note on Matt. 26:17. The Passover meal had to be eaten in Jerusalem (Deuteronomy 16:5). Go and prepare involved having the lamb sacrificed at the temple, roasting it, preparing the room for the meal, and preparing various side dishes. The disciples would be met by a man carrying a jar of water—something one would expect a woman to be doing. The secretive nature of the meeting suggests that Jesus was seeking privacy. Everything takes place just as he had told them (compare Luke 19:32), suggesting either a prearrangement or a miraculous work of God.
