Luke 22:15-16

Jesus’ words of welcome 22:15-16

These verses record Jesus’ introduction to what followed and are similar to the welcoming words of a host before his guests begin their meal. This is the seventh of nine meal scenes that Luke recorded in his Gospel (cf. Luke 5:29-32; Luke 7:36-50; Luke 9:12-17; Luke 10:38-42; Luke 11:37-54; Luke 14:1-24; Luke 22:14-20; Luke 24:28-32; Luke 24:36-42).
