10 And He said to them, "When you have entered the city , a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water ; follow him into the house that he enters . 11 "And you shall say to the owner of the house , 'The Teacher says to you, "Where is the guest room in which I may eat the Passover with My disciples ?"' 12 "And he will show you a large , furnished upper room ; prepare it there ."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Luke 22:10-12
Commentary on Luke 22:7-18
(Read Luke 22:7-18)
Christ kept the ordinances of the law, particularly that of the passover, to teach us to observe his gospel institutions, and most of all that of the Lord's supper. Those who go upon Christ's word, need not fear disappointment. According to the orders given them, the disciples got all ready for the passover. Jesus bids this passover welcome. He desired it, though he knew his sufferings would follow, because it was in order to his Father's glory and man's redemption. He takes his leave of all passovers, signifying thereby his doing away all the ordinances of the ceremonial law, of which the passover was one of the earliest and chief. That type was laid aside, because now in the kingdom of God the substance was come.
