Luke 22:9 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 22:9

And they said unto him, where wilt thou that we prepare?

7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread, on which the passover lamb had to be sacrificed.
8 So Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the passover for us, that we may eat it."
9 They said to him, "Where will you have us prepare it?"
10 He said to them, "Behold, when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him into the house which he enters,
11 and tell the householder, 'The Teacher says to you, Where is the guest room, where I am to eat the passover with my disciples?'
