Expositor's Greek Testament (Nicoll)

Luke 22:8

ἀπέστειλε : in Lk. Jesus takes the initiative; in Mt. and Mk. the disciples introduce the subject. Various reasons have been suggested for this change. Lk. simply states the fact as it was (Schanz). He thought it unsuitable that Jesus should seem to need reminding (Meyer, seventh edition). The change of day, from 14th to 13th Nisan, required Jesus to take the initiative (J. Weiss, Meyer, eighth edition). Πέτρον καὶ Ἰ.: the two disciples sent out not named in parallels.
