Exegesis
This is further qualified by the comparative adverb kathos {καθὼς | kathṓs} ‘just as’, which directly connects the result to the prior statement expressed by the pluperfect eirekei {εἰρήκει | eirḗkei} ‘he had said’, emphasizing the reliability and prior completion of the speaking event.
In context — Luke 22:13
And they went away and found it just as He had told them , and they prepared the Passover .
