Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:16

“For I say to you, I will not eat it, until it be fulfilled in the Kingly Rule of God.” And the reason for this great desire was that this last Passover would usher in the Kingly Rule of God. Indeed what was now to occur at this Passover, which symbolised the giving of His body and blood, was what would cause its fulfilment in the Kingly Rule of God. We must note here that there is a twofold stress in this Passover meal. The first is in order to fix their eyes on the end at which He is aiming... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:17-18

‘And he received a cup, and when he had given thanks (eucharistesas), he said, “Take this, and divide it (share it) among yourselves, for I say to you, I will not drink from henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until the Kingly Rule of God shall come.” During the Passover feast it was customary for four cups of wine to be drunk. This was therefore probably the first cup, the initial opening of the feast, although it may have been the second. And Luke probably has the saying that follows it in... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:19-20

‘And he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave to them, saying, “This is my body which is given for you, this do in remembrance of me.” And the cup in like manner after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, even that which is poured out for you.” And then Jesus came to the second part of what He wanted to convey to His disciples from the Passover feast. For in one sense in taking the Passover bread and breaking it before passing it to them He was... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:21

“But behold, the hand of him who betrays me is with me on the table.” There are few ideas that chill the blood more than that of ‘treachery’ and ‘betrayal’. All knew of the growing enmity of outsiders against Jesus, and now He was telling them that one of them, one of the chosen twelve, would betray him. It must have seemed unbelievable. And that such a person should be sitting at the table eating with them demonstrated how deep must be his unscrupulousness. For to the Easterner to eat with... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:21-23

The Warning of Betrayal (22:21-23). Connected with His important words to do with the bread and the wine Jesus declares that among those who have received the bread and wine is one who will betray Him. Here was the second element in His suffering, that as He sat and watched, Judas had eaten the bread and drunk the wine. It must have almost broken His heart. But His words would run like an electric shock through the gathered disciples. And they would look from one to another wondering who it... read more

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

“For the Son of man indeed goes, as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom he is betrayed!” These words are undoubtedly an appeal to Judas to consider what he was doing. Let him recognise that what he was doing, he was doing to ‘the Son of Man’ Who would shortly be approaching the throne of glory (Daniel 7:13-14). He was being warned that he was in danger of betraying God’s Chosen One and committing the unforgivable sin. He was deliberately hardening his heart in such a way... read more

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

‘And when the days of their purification according to the law of Moses were fulfilled, they brought him up to Jerusalem, to present him to the Lord, as it is written in the law of the Lord, “Every male which opens the womb shall be called holy to the Lord”, and to offer a sacrifice according to that which is said in the law of the Lord, “A pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons”.’ . According to the law of Moses every firstborn male of Israel belonged to God for the purpose of service in... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:23

‘And they began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing.’ Such a statement as Jesus had made could only cause surprise and concern. And yet it seems that they were sufficiently aware of their own weakness to recognise that it could be true, although they may well have thought at the time that He meant betray Him accidentally. Otherwise we would have expected a vociferous denial. But the eyewitness remembered the discussions well, and commented on them. It had... read more

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

‘And there arose also a contention among them, which of them was accounted to be greatest.’ A little consideration will demonstrate how easily their questioning of themselves about their frailty could quickly lead on to an assertion by each that they at least were trustworthy, and then on to the question of who was to be the most prominent in the future because of their reliability. How far the disciples were from having the right attitude and understanding comes out here. Jesus had stressed... 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
