The Paradox of the God-Man

The disciples' simple question, "Where?", highlights the paradox of Jesus's nature. As commentator Charles Spurgeon notes, Jesus was humanly poor, without a room to call his own. Yet, he answered with divine authority, commanding a room as "The Master," demonstrating that all things were ultimately his. This moment reveals both his humble humanity and his majestic divinity.
