What Does Luke 22:9 Mean?

The question was practical. Passover had to be eaten within Jerusalem, and the city was crowded with pilgrims; rooms were claimed long in advance. The disciples had no house there - they needed their Master's direction.

Their question is the posture of discipleship in miniature: not whether to obey, but where. They ask, and Jesus answers with startling specificity in the verses that follow. Much of walking with God consists of just this - bringing him the practical question and trusting that he has already gone ahead of it. 'In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths' (Proverbs 3:6).
