Luke 22:9 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 22:9

And they said unto him, where wilt thou that we prepare?
] Meaning, not in what village, town, or city, for it was a fixed and determined thing, that the passover should be eaten at Jerusalem, and nowhere else; see ( Deuteronomy 16:2 ) , but in what house in Jerusalem?

8 Jesus sent Peter and John off, saying, "Go prepare the Passover for us so we can eat it together."
9 They said, "Where do you want us to do this?"
10 He said, "Keep your eyes open as you enter the city. A man carrying a water jug will meet you. Follow him home.
11 Then speak with the owner of the house: The Teacher wants to know, 'Where is the guest room where I can eat the Passover meal with my disciples?'
