Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Luke 22:62-71

Luke IN THE HIGH PRIEST’S PALACE Luk_22:54 - Luk_22:71 . The present passage deals with three incidents, each of which may be regarded either as an element in our Lord’s sufferings or as a revelation of man’s sin. He is denied, mocked, and formally rejected and condemned. A trusted friend proves faithless, the underlings of the rulers brutally ridicule His prophetic claims, and their masters vote Him a blasphemer for assenting His divinity and Messiahship. I. We have the failure of loyalty... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 22:54-62

the Disciple Who Denied His Lord Luke 22:54-62 Peter loved Christ truly, but miscalculated his strength. Be very careful not to adventure yourself into the midst of temptation. If God leads you thither, that is another matter. We do well to remember Psalms 1:1-3 . Let us beware of warming ourselves at the world’s fires. It was the firelight falling on his face that revealed Peter, and his brogue that betrayed him. If, even at that hour, however, He had looked to God, a way of escape would... 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

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 22:61

THE SAVIOUR’S LOOK‘And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter.’ Luke 22:61 I. The Lord’s look.—Has there ever been a painter who had genius enough—it would have to be genius direct from heaven—to paint the look that Christ cast upon St. Peter? There would be, at least, three things in that look—sorrow, love, and encouragement.( a) Sorrow that St. Peter, after his promise, ‘I am ready to go with Thee both to prison and to death,’ should prove so sorry a coward.( b) Love—a love so great, so... read more

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's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:54

‘And they seized him, and led him away, and brought him into the high priest’s house. But Peter followed afar off.’ So Jesus was arrested on the Mount of Olives and led away, and was brought to the house of the High Priest. The disciples meanwhile had scattered. Jesus had forbidden resistance and they wanted to avoid arrest. But Peter, determined not to let Jesus down, and so that he could prove his loyalty, did not go far, and when the arresting party moved off, he followed them at a distance... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:54-62

Jesus Is Brought To The High Priest’s House Where Peter Denies Him Three Times (22:54-62). Jesus’ actual arrest had been by the Temple guard, and He was now taken to the High Priest’s house, (which would have been a very large house built around a central courtyard), in order to prepare the case against Him. His being taken there demonstrates that the Romans (only mentioned by John) had only been present in case of trouble, although their presence would be necessary for an arrest of this... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:55

‘And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and had sat down together, Peter sat in the midst of them.’ Introduced into the courtyard of the house by the other disciple, who was known in those circles, Peter found himself surrounded by people who were no doubt discussing the arrest, and who were also no doubt mainly unsympathetic. Few, if any, would be Galileans. Now up to this point in time, while there was still some action to take, Peter’s courage had remained relatively... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:56

‘And a certain maid seeing him as he sat in the light of the fire, and looking steadfastly at him, said, “This man also was with him.”’ Thus when a maid who saw him in the light of the fire, unexpectedly stared at him and then pointed him out to those around as a companion of the accused man, his nerve broke, and the result was that, panic-stricken, he reacted with an immediate lie. read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:57

‘But he denied, saying, “Woman, I know him not.” ’ Looking the woman straight in the eye he declared that what she had said was not true, and that the real truth was that he did not know the man at all. She was quite mistaken. read more
