Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Luke 22:7-39

"Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed. (8) And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat. (9) And they said unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare? (10) 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. (11) And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:21-38

21-38 How unbecoming is the worldly ambition of being the greatest, to the character of a follower of Jesus, who took upon him the form of a servant, and humbled himself to the death of the cross! In the way to eternal happiness, we must expect to be assaulted and sifted by Satan. If he cannot destroy, he will try to disgrace or distress us. Nothing more certainly forebodes a fall, in a professed follower of Christ, than self-confidence, with disregard to warnings, and contempt of danger.... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Luke 22:1-99

Luke 22 AS WE COMMENCE to read this chapter, we reach the closing scenes of our Lord’s life. The Passover was not only a standing witness to Israel’s deliverance from Egypt but also a type of the great Sacrifice which was yet to come. Now at last the climax approached, and “Christ our Passover” was to be sacrificed for us precisely at the Passover season. The religious leaders were scheming how they might kill Him in spite of the fact that many of the people viewed Him with favour. Satan... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Luke 22:24-30

A Lesson on Humility. Luke 22:24-Amos : The dispute about rank: v. 24. And there was also a strife among them which of them should be accounted the greatest. v. 25. And He said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and they that exercise authority upon them are called benefactors. v. 26. 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. v. 27. For whether is greater, he that... read more

Johann Peter Lange

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Luke 22:24-38

4. Familiar and Farewell Discourses (Luke 22:24-38)(In part parallel with Matthew 26:30-35; Mark 14:27-31; John 13:36-38.)24And there was also a strife [there arose also a contention8] among them, which of them should be accounted [appears to be, δοκεῖ9] the greatest. 25And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority 26upon them are called benefactors. But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the... read more

Alexander MacLaren

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Luke 22:28

Luke PARTING PROMISES AND WARNINGS THE LONELY CHRIST Luk_22:28 . We wonder at the disciples when we read of the unseemly strife for precedence which jars on the tender solemnities of the Last Supper. We think them strangely unsympathetic and selfish; and so they were. But do not let us be too hard on them, nor forget that there was a very natural reason for the close connection which is found in the gospels between our Lord’s announcements of His sufferings and this eager dispute as to who... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 22:24-34

Disciples Who Grieve Their Lord Luke 22:24-34 It is probable that this dispute about priority took place on their entering the supper room. It could hardly have taken place after the tender scene of John 13:1-38 . But doubtless the irritated feelings which that contention engendered prepared the way for the testing, sifting and ultimate fall of Peter. It is the little waves that eventually become the mighty billows which wreck the big ships and engulf human lives. Satan cannot assail us... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 22:1-71

Here we have the record of final things before the Cross. The priests and the devil are seen in coalition. As the end approached, the Master is seen with the shadow of the Cross on Him, desiring to eat the Passover with His loved ones. Even in this connection the disciples contend over which of them is to be accounted the greatest. After the observance of the Passover and the institution of the new Feast, He declared to them, "Satan hath obtained you by asking" (margin). Notice carefully... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:1-71

Jesus Is Crucified And Rises Again (22:1-24:53). We now come to the final Section of Luke which is also in the form of a chiasmus (see analysis below). Central in this final chiasmus is the crucifixion of Jesus. This brings out how central the crucifixion is in the thinking of Luke. As the Servant of the Lord He is to be numbered among the transgressors for their sakes (Luke 22:37). This is indeed what the Gospel has been leading up to, something that is further demonstrated by the space given... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:7-38

Jesus Advances To The Guest-chamber (22:7-38). It is no coincidence that near the beginning of Luke’s Gospel there was no room for Jesus in the ‘kataluma’ (Luke 2:7 - place to stay, guestchamber), but now that He is to be offered up, such a room (kataluma) is to be made available for Him (Luke 22:11-12 below). He is advancing, from the manger to the cross. He is coming towards the fulfilment of His lifework, and in this guestchamber He will participate in His last Passover which will be for... read more
