So they went
This phrase indicates immediate obedience and action by the disciples. The Greek word for "went" is "ἐξῆλθον" (exēlthon), which implies a purposeful departure. In the context of discipleship, this reflects the readiness and willingness to follow Jesus' instructions without hesitation. It serves as a model for believers today, emphasizing the importance of acting on faith and trust in God's word.

and found it
The Greek word for "found" is "εὗρον" (heuron), which means to discover or come upon something. This suggests that the disciples' journey was not in vain; they encountered exactly what Jesus had described. This highlights the reliability and omniscience of Jesus, reinforcing the truth that His words and promises are trustworthy. For believers, it is a reminder that when we follow Christ's guidance, we will find His promises fulfilled in our lives.

just as Jesus had told them
This phrase underscores the accuracy and foreknowledge of Jesus. The Greek word "καθώς" (kathōs) means "just as" or "in the manner that," indicating precise fulfillment of Jesus' words. This reflects the divine nature of Christ, who knows all things and orchestrates events according to His will. It reassures believers of the certainty of God's word and His sovereign control over circumstances.

And they prepared
The act of preparation is significant in the context of the Passover. The Greek word "ἡτοίμασαν" (hētoimasan) means to make ready or to arrange. This preparation involved both physical and spiritual readiness, as the Passover was a time of remembrance and reflection on God's deliverance. For Christians, it symbolizes the importance of preparing our hearts and lives for worship and communion with God.

the Passover
The Passover is a pivotal event in Jewish history, commemorating the Israelites' deliverance from slavery in Egypt. The Greek word "πάσχα" (pascha) refers to this feast, which involves the sacrifice of a lamb and the remembrance of God's saving acts. In the New Testament context, the Passover foreshadows Christ's sacrificial death as the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. For believers, it is a profound reminder of redemption and the new covenant established through Jesus' blood.
