Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:47-53

47-53 Nothing can be a greater affront or grief to the Lord Jesus, than to be betrayed by those who profess to be his followers, and say that they love him. Many instances there are, of Christ's being betrayed by those who, under the form of godliness, fight against the power of it. Jesus here gave an illustrious example of his own rule of doing good to those that hate us, as afterwards he did of praying for those that despitefully use us. Corrupt nature warps our conduct to extremes; we should... read more

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 22:47-53

The betrayal: v. 47. 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. v. 48. But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of Man with a kiss? v. 49 When they which were about Him saw what would follow, they said unto Him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? v. 50. And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. v. 51. And Jesus answered and... read more

b. THE ARREST (Luke 22:47-53)(Parallel with Matthew 26:47-56; Mark 14:43-52; John 18:3-11.)47And [om., And] while he yet spake, behold a multitude [or, throng], and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him. 48But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou [deliverest thou up] the Son of man with a kiss? 49When they which were about him saw what would follow, they said unto him [om., unto him17], Lord, shall we smite with the sword?... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Luke 22:39-52

Luke GETHSEMANE Luk_22:39 - Luk_22:53 . ‘Put off thy shoes from off thy feet.’ Cold analysis is out of place here, where the deepest depth of a Saviour’s sorrows is partly disclosed, and we see Him bowing His head to the waves and billows that went over Him, for our sakes. Luke’s account is much condensed, but contains some points peculiar to itself. It falls into two parts-the solemn scene of the agony, and the circumstances of the arrest. I. We look with reverent awe and thankfulness at... read more

Alexander MacLaren

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Luke 22:53

Luke GETHSEMANE THE CROSS THE VICTORY AND DEFEAT OF DARKNESS Luk_22:53 . The darkness was the right time for so dark a deed. The surface meaning of these pathetic and far-reaching words of our Lord’s in the garden to His captors is to point the correspondence between the season and the act. As He has just said, ‘He had been daily with them in the Temple,’ but in the blaze of the noontide they laid no hands upon Him. They found a congenial hour in the midnight. But the words go a great deal... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 22:47-53

“The Power of Darkness” Luke 22:47-53 It may have been about midnight when the lights and movement of feet indicated the approach of Judas and his band. The kiss of Judas was probably intended to hide his treachery from his fellow-disciples; but it did not deceive his Master, who even in that sad hour sought to touch his heart, Luke 22:48 . When Malchus’ ear was almost severed from the body, it was needful that our Lord should interpose, because, if Peter had been arrested, the gaze of... read more

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 22:47

‘While he yet spoke, behold, a crowd, and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and he drew near to Jesus to kiss him.’ Note how Luke brings out the idea of suddenness, and the unexpectedness of such a crowd (‘behold, a crowd’). One moment Jesus was quietly speaking to His disciples in the darkness about their need to pray, and the next thing that happened was that out of the darkness came this great crowd of people carrying torches. And the torches revealed that amongst... read more
