Luca 22:11

11 E dite al padron della casa: Il Maestro ti manda a dire: Ov’è la stanza, nella quale io mangerò la pasqua co’ miei discepoli?

Luca 22:11 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 22:11

And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house
The master of it; for the man bearing the pitcher of water seems to be a servant only: the master saith unto thee:
by these his two disciples, Peter and John; it looks as if the word "master", as peculiar to Christ, and by way of eminency belonging to him, ( Matthew 23:10 ) was well known to those who believed, and were followers of him, as the man of this house might be; see ( John 11:28 ) . The Syriac and Persic versions read, "our master saith", and leave out the other phrase, to thee: where is the guest chamber;
or dining room: the word properly signifies an inn, or place to wait at; so called, from travellers unloosing their burdens there, either from themselves, or their beasts; the Arabic version renders it, "the place of my rest": a place for refreshment and feasting: where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
who were a sufficient number to eat the passover lamb by themselves; (See Gill on Matthew 26:18).

Luca 22:11 In-Context

9 Ed essi gli dissero: Ove vuoi che l’apparecchiamo?

10 Ed egli disse loro: Ecco, quando sarete entrati nella città, voi scontrerete un uomo, portando un testo pien d’acqua; seguitatelo nella casa ov’egli entrerà.

11 E dite al padron della casa: Il Maestro ti manda a dire: Ov’è la stanza, nella quale io mangerò la pasqua co’ miei discepoli?

12 Ed esso vi mostrerà una gran sala acconcia; quivi apparecchiate la pasqua.

13 Essi dunque, andati, trovaron come egli avea lor detto, ed apparecchiaron la pasqua.
