Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:14-38

Crisis Point Is Reached In The Guestchamber (22:14-38). In this passage we have described what occurred in the Guestchamber. This divides up into five sections. Overall Analysis. a Jesus manifests the danger that lies before Him, the suffering that He is to face, and the fact of His coming death, providing the symbol of what its significance will be for His disciples in the light of the fact that the Kingly Rule of God is coming (Luke 22:14-20). b Jesus reveals the hand of a betrayer,... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:24-30

The Humility Which Is To Distinguish Those Who Are His (22:24-30). Having established the basis for the future by means of the new significance of the bread and wine, and having warned that He was about to be betrayed, He now emphasised the kind of attitude that was essential in His service. The whole future would depend on it. They had continued with Him in His trials and afflictions. Let them now recognise that they must continue with Him in His humble service. In the future it would be when... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:28

“But you are they who have continued with me in my temptations (distresses, afflictions),” Then He pointed out to them that up to this point they had indeed walked in this way. They had continued with Him in the lowly life that He had chosen. They too had faced insults, as He had. They too had had nowhere to lay their head. They too had had to take a lowly position. They had chosen to share with Him the way of service. From the commencement of His ministry up to this point He had faced... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:24-30

Luke 22:24-Amos : . The Christian Standard of Greatness ( Mark 10:42-Romans : *, Matthew 20:25-Hosea : *, Matthew 19:28 *. Cf. also Luke 9:46).— Lk. here goes back to a discussion recorded much earlier by Mk., who connects it with the request of James and John for precedence in the Messianic Kingdom. The connexion in Lk. is probably with reference to the apparently near advent of the Kingdom in Luke 22:16; Luke 22:18. Luke 22:25 . benefactors: there is irony in the use of this term, a... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 22:28-30

These verses seem to contain (though in a few more words) the substance of what we met with Matthew 19:28. There they are spoken as an answer to Peter, speaking on the behalf of himself and the rest of the apostles, who had forsaken all to follow Christ. Christ tells them there, that those which had followed him, in the regeneration when the Son of man should sit on the throne of his glory, should sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. That time which our Lord there... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 22:21-38

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 22:21. Him that betrayeth.—If the order of events be here given, it is clear that Judas partook of the last supper.Luke 22:22. Determined.—Fixed by the counsel of God (cf. Acts 2:23; Acts 4:27-28; Revelation 13:8).Luke 22:24. A strife among them.—Perhaps this is related out of its order, and is to be understood as having occurred at the beginning of the supper, when Christ practically rebuked it by washing the disciples’ feet (John 13:4 ff.), to which action He here alludes... read more

Luke's gospel, chapter 22.Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover ( Luke 22:1 ).The Feast of Unleavened Bread actually was for six days, from the fifteenth of Nizan to the twenty-first.
