The Keeping of the Passover

As the feast of unleavened bread arrived, Jesus knew His time to suffer and save had come. Though He had been teaching in the temple and the people listened eagerly, He now had to begin a different, more important work. Even during times of trouble, God can do great things. In this passage, we see Jesus preparing to celebrate the Passover with His disciples and to establish a new covenant.

v. 7–13: On the day the Passover lamb was to be killed, Jesus sent Peter and John to prepare the meal (Luke 22:7 ^a). Jesus followed the law and took part in the Passover, teaching us to respect the things God commands, especially the Lord’s Supper. He gave Peter and John special instructions: they would meet a man carrying water, who would lead them to the place for the meal (Luke 22:9–10 ^b). They were to ask the owner for a room, and he would show them a large upper room, ready for the meal (Luke 22:11–12 ^c). Everything happened just as Jesus said (Luke 22:13 ^d). When we trust and obey Jesus, we can be sure He will provide what we need.
