What does Luke 22:13 mean?

Jesus' crucifixion fulfills dozens of prophecies. Some He spoke Himself. The day and night before proved that He is fully aware of what is going on around Him. He tells Peter and John to prepare for the Passover meal. They ask where they should have it. Jesus gives specific instructions:
"Behold, when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he enters and tell the master of the house, 'The Teacher says to you, Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples.'" (Luke 22:10–11).
Of course, everything happens exactly as Jesus said.

That's not the end, however. He will soon tell them that one of them will betray Him (Luke 22:21); that night, Judas does just that (Luke 22:47–48). Jesus says the disciples will fall away (Mark 14:27); they do (Mark 14:50). He says Peter will deny Him three times (Luke 22:34); Peter does (Luke 22:54–62). And Jesus says He will be "numbered with the transgressors," in part because the disciples carry swords (Luke 22:36–38); He is (Luke 23:1–2). He will even predict that He will not celebrate the Passover or drink wine again until He can do so in God's kingdom (Luke 22:16–18).

But Jesus also prophesies great things. The new covenant in His blood is coming (Luke 22:20). The disciples will reign with Him, judging the twelve tribes (Luke 22:28–30). Peter will be restored and lead the others to a deeper faith (Luke 22:32). And "from now on the Son of Man shall be seated at the right hand of the power of God" (Luke 22:69).

May we understand that we can trust Jesus with all things, tiny and great.
