People's New Testament Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover. 22:1 The Last Supper
SUMMARY OF LUKE 22: The Rulers Take Steps to Slay the Lord. Judas Bargains to Betray Christ. The Passover Prepared. The Lord's Supper Instituted. The Traitor Pointed Out. Exhortation to the Apostles. The feast of unleavened bread. The Passover, so called because no leavened bread was eaten during the passover week. And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people. 22:2 The chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him. Tried to devise means to accomplish this without exciting the multitude. See Mt 26:1-5.
Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. 22:3-6 Then entered Satan into Judas. He gave himself up to do the work of Satan. See notes on Mt 26:14-16.
And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them. 22:3-6 Then entered Satan into Judas. He gave himself up to do the work of Satan. See notes on Mt 26:14-16.
And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money. 22:3-6 Then entered Satan into Judas. He gave himself up to do the work of Satan. See notes on Mt 26:14-16.
And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude. 22:3-6 Then entered Satan into Judas. He gave himself up to do the work of Satan. See notes on Mt 26:14-16.
Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed. 22:7,8 Then came the day of unleavened bread. Josephus calls both the fourteenth and fifteenth of Nisan, the day of unleavened bread. I have followed Neander, Tischendorf, Winer, Alford, Ellicott, Erasmus, Grotius, Calvin and others in the view that the Lord's passover was eaten one day before the Jews ate theirs, and that he died about the time that the paschal lambs were slain for the Jews' passover. See notes on Joh 18:28 19:31.
And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat. 22:7,8 Then came the day of unleavened bread. Josephus calls both the fourteenth and fifteenth of Nisan, the day of unleavened bread. I have followed Neander, Tischendorf, Winer, Alford, Ellicott, Erasmus, Grotius, Calvin and others in the view that the Lord's passover was eaten one day before the Jews ate theirs, and that he died about the time that the paschal lambs were slain for the Jews' passover.

And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? 22:9-13 Where wilt thou that we prepare? On the preparation for the Passover, see notes on Mt 26:17-19.
And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entered into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in. 22:9-13 Where wilt thou that we prepare? On the preparation for the Passover, see notes on Mt 26:17-19.
And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? 22:9-13 Where wilt thou that we prepare? On the preparation for the Passover, see notes on Mt 26:17-19.
And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished: there make ready. 22:12 A large upper room furnished. The upper room was usually the guest chamber.
And they went, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. 22:14-20 When the hour was come. There are four accounts of the institution of the Lord's Supper: Mt 26:26-30 Mr 14:22-25 1Co 11:23-25. See notes on Matthew.

But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. 22:21-23 Him that betrayeth me. The incident concerning the betrayal mentioned in these verses occurred before the Lord's Supper was eaten (Mt 26:21). It seems probable, from Joh 13:21-35, that Judas left before the supper On this passage, see notes on Mt 26:21-25.

It seems probable, from Joh 13:21-35, that Judas left before the supper On this passage, see notes on Mt 26:21-25.
And there was also a strife among them, which of them should be accounted the greatest. 22:24 There was also a strife among them. This contention probably arose while they were taking seats for the paschal meal, each seeking the chief place. It was rebuked by the Lord washing their feet (Joh 13:3-5). See notes on Mt 18:1-4.
And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. 22:25 Benefactors. This very title has often been conferred on Gentile rulers, as Ptolemy Euergetes, Ptolemy, the Benefactor, one of the kings of Egypt.
But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. 22:26 Ye shall not be so. Greatness shall be sought by serving. He is greatest who serves the world best.
For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth.
Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations.
And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me; 22:29 I appoint unto you a kingdom. A kingdom to be secured, not by conquering and ruling, but humility, self-denial, and service. He that humbleth himself shall be exalted (Mt 18:14).
That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 22:30 That ye may eat and drink, etc. Thus shall the apostles be entitled to eat at the Lord's table in the kingdom, and to
sit on thrones, etc. They attained these thrones, but they are spiritual, rather than temporal. See PNT Mt 19:28. And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 22:31-34 Simon, Simon. For the warning to Peter of his Denial of the Lord, see Mt 26:31-35. Compare Mr 14:27-31.
But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. 22:31-34 Simon, Simon. For the warning to Peter of his Denial of the Lord, see Mt 26:31-35. Compare Mr 14:27-31.
And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death. 22:31-34 Simon, Simon. For the warning to Peter of his Denial of the Lord, see Mt 26:31-35. Compare Mr 14:27-31.
And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me. 22:31-34 Simon, Simon. For the warning to Peter of his Denial of the Lord, see Mt 26:31-35. Compare Mr 14:27-31.
And he said unto them, When I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked ye any thing? And they said, Nothing. 22:35 When I sent you without purse. See Mt 10:9-15 Mr 6:8,9.
Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one. 22:36 But now. Now has come a time of trial when all will be against you.
He that hath no sword, let him... buy one. Not to be taken literally, but a striking way of saying that enemies upon every side will assail them. For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. 22:37 He was reckoned among the transgressors. This, quoted from Isa 53:12, was about to be fulfilled in him.
And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough. 22:38 Here are two swords. How they come to be in their possession is not told.
It is enough. This is a dismissal of the subject, not a warrant for their use. That was rebuked when Peter resorted to one (Mt 26:52-54). And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. 22:39-46 Went... to the Mount of Olives. For the Agony in Gethsemane, see notes on Mt 26:36-46. Compare Mr 14:32-42.

Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. 22:39-46 Went... to the Mount of Olives. For the Agony in Gethsemane, see notes on Mt 26:36-46. Compare Mr 14:32-42.

And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. 22:44 Being in agony. Luke alone mentions that his sweat became as great drops of blood, a fact that portrays, as language could not, the agony of our Lord's struggle.
And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,
And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. 22:47-53 Behold a multitude. For notes on the Betrayal and Seizure of Jesus, see Mt 26:47-56. Compare Mr 14:43-52 Joh 18:1-12.
