When the hour had come
This phrase signifies a divinely appointed time, a moment of fulfillment in God's redemptive plan. The Greek word for "hour" is "hōra," which often denotes a significant or destined time. In the context of the Last Supper, it marks the culmination of Jesus' earthly ministry and the initiation of the New Covenant. Historically, this moment aligns with the Passover, a time when Jews commemorated their deliverance from Egypt. Jesus, as the Lamb of God, is about to fulfill the ultimate deliverance from sin.

Jesus
The name "Jesus" is derived from the Hebrew "Yeshua," meaning "The Lord is salvation." This name encapsulates His mission and identity as the Savior of the world. In this verse, Jesus is the central figure, orchestrating the events that will lead to His sacrificial death. His presence at the table signifies His role as both host and sacrificial lamb, embodying the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies.

reclined at the table
In ancient Jewish culture, reclining at the table was a posture of rest and fellowship, typically reserved for special meals like the Passover. The Greek word "anapiptō" means to recline or lie back, indicating a position of relaxation and intimacy. This setting underscores the significance of the Last Supper as a moment of deep communion between Jesus and His disciples. It also reflects the cultural practices of the time, where meals were not just for sustenance but for building relationships and sharing in community.

with His apostles
The term "apostles" comes from the Greek "apostolos," meaning "one who is sent out." These were the chosen twelve, handpicked by Jesus to be His closest followers and messengers of the Gospel. Their presence at this pivotal moment highlights their role in the unfolding of God's plan. Historically, the apostles were witnesses to Jesus' teachings, miracles, and ultimately, His resurrection. This gathering signifies the passing of the baton, as Jesus prepares them for their mission to spread the Good News to the ends of the earth.

(14-18) And when the hour was come.--See Notes on Matthew 26:20; Mark 14:17. The other Gospels name "the evening." St. Luke uses simply "the hour" as referring to the appointed time, "in the evening" (literally, between the two evenings, i.e., the close of twilight; see Exodus 12:6), for the "killing," the lamb being eaten afterwards as soon as it was roasted. It is characteristic of the comparatively late date of St. Luke's narrative that he speaks of "the twelve Apostles," while the other two reports speak of "the disciples." (Comp. Luke 9:10; Luke 17:5; Luke 24:10.) . . . Verses 14-38. - The Last Supper. Verse 14. - And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. The preparation had been made in the "large upper room," and the Lord and the twelve sat down, or rather reclined on the couches covered with carpets, the tables before them laid with the dishes peculiar to the solemn Passover Supper, each dish telling its part of the old loved story of the great deliverance. There was the lamb the Paschal victim, and the bitter herbs, the unleavened bread and the reddish sweet conserve of fruits - commemorating, it is said, by its color the hard labors of brickmaking, one of the chief burdens of the Egyptian bondage - into which the Blaster dipped the sop, and gave it to the traitor-apostle (John 13:26). The Lord reclined, probably, at the middle table; St. John next to him; St. Peter most likely on the other side; and the others reclining in an order corresponding more or less closely with the threefold division of the twelve into groups of four. The Supper itself had its special forms and ceremonies, which the Lord transformed as they proceeded in such a way as to change it into the sacred Supper of the New Testament.
