RF LUK 22:1 The Approaching Passover.
The festival Of unfermented bread, known as the Passover, was now drawing near.
RF LUK 22:2 And the chief priests and professors were seeking an opportunity to assassinate Him; but they were afraid of the people.
RF LUK 22:3 The Plot of Judas.
Satan then entered Judas, surnamed the Iscariot, who was numbered among the twelve.
RF LUK 22:4 And he proceeded to converse with the chief priests and officers, as to how he Could hand Him over to them.
RF LUK 22:5 And they were delighted, and bargained to give him money.
RF LUK 22:6 He accordingly consented, and awaited an opportunity to betray Him to them, away from the crowd.
RF LUK 22:7 Preparations for the Passover.
When the time arrived for the unfermented bread, when the Passover ought to be offered,
RF LUK 22:8 He sent Peter and John, saying, "Go and prepare the Passover for us, in order that we may eat it."
RF LUK 22:9 "Where do You wish us to prepare it?" they asked.
RF LUK 22:10 "When you enter the city," He told them, "a man carrying a pitcher of water will meet you; follow him into the house which he enters.
RF LUK 22:11 Then say to the master of the house, 'The Teacher says to you, Where is the assembly-room, where I can eat the Passover with My disciples?'
RF LUK 22:12 And he will show you a large upper chamber, furnished; make ready there."
RF LUK 22:13 So they went; and finding everything as He had told them, they prepared for the Passover.
RF LUK 22:14 Institution of the Lord's Supper.
And when the hour arrived, He reclined, and the twelve apostles were with Him.
RF LUK 22:15 And He said to them: "I have longingly desired to eat this Passover with you before My suffering;
RF LUK 22:16 however, I tell you that I will not eat of it, until it can be administered in the Kingdom of God."
RF LUK 22:17 Then taking the cup, and giving thanks, He said: "Take this, and divide it among yourselves;
RF LUK 22:18 for I tell you that I will not drink of the produce of the vine, until the Kingdom Of God has come."
RF LUK 22:19 He then took the bread, and giving thanks, He broke it, and handed it to them, saying, "This is My body, [[which is delivered up for you; do this in remembrance of Me."
RF LUK 22:20 And He did the same also with the after-dinner cup, saying, "This Cup is a New Settlement in My blood, which is poured out for your sakes.]]
RF LUK 22:21 But nevertheless the hand of My betrayer is with My own upon the table:
RF LUK 22:22 for the Son of Man is indeed going away, as has been determined; but alas for that man by means of whom He is betrayed!"
RF LUK 22:23 They then began to inquire among themselves who it could be that was about to do this.
RF LUK 22:24 The Question of Precedency.
A warm discussion now took place among them, as to which of them should be considered the greatest.
RF LUK 22:25 "The kings of the heathen," He observed to them, "exercise dominion over them; and their oppressors are styled 'benefactors':
RF LUK 22:26 but you must not do so. On the contrary, let the greater among you become as the younger; and the chief like a servant.
RF LUK 22:27 For who is the greater—the guest or the servant? Is not the guest? but I am among you as a Servant.
RF LUK 22:28 But you are accompanying Me in My trials;
RF LUK 22:29 and I will grant you a Kingdom, such as My Father has granted to Me:
RF LUK 22:30 so that you may eat and drink at My table, in My Kingdom, and sit upon thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel."
RF LUK 22:31 Peter's Denial Predicted.
The Master then added, "Simon, Simon, see, Satan has demanded you, to sift you like wheat;
RF LUK 22:32 but I have made supplication for you, that your faith may not fail. And when you have recovered yourself, strengthen your brothers."
RF LUK 22:33 "Master," was his reply, "I am ready to go with You to prison—yes, even to death!"
RF LUK 22:34 "Let Me tell you, Peter," He said, "the bugle 1 will not sound to-day, until you have thrice denied that you know Me."
RF LUK 22:35 Then He asked them, "When I sent you without purse, bag, or shoes, did you want anything?"
"Nothing," was their reply.
RF LUK 22:36 He answered them, "But now, whoever has a purse, let him take it, and likewise a bag; and he that has no sword, let him sell his cloak and buy one.
RF LUK 22:37 For I tell you, that which was written must be completed in Me: THAT HE WAS ALSO RANKED AMONG THE OUTLAWS; 2 for indeed, what has been written about Me will have fulfillment."
RF LUK 22:38 "Master, see!" said they, "there are two swords here."
"That will do," was His reply.
RF LUK 22:39 The Agony of the Son of Man.
Then going out, He retired, according to His custom, to the Mount of Olivet; and the disciples also followed Him.
—————
1. The Roman bugle, called in Latin, "Gallus," i.e., "The Cock," or "The Crower." It was a Roman army bugle for signaling the relief of the Guard.
2. Isa. 53.12
RF LUK 22:40 When He arrived at the place, He said to them, "Pray, for fear trial should overtake you."
RF LUK 22:41 And tearing Himself away from them, as far as a stone's throw, He knelt down, and prayed;
RF LUK 22:42 saying, "Father, if it be Your will, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done!"
RF LUK 22:43 [[An angel from heaven then appeared to Him, strengthening Him.
RF LUK 22:44 And being in an agony of grief, He prayed all the more fervently; and the sweat fell from Him to the ground like drops of blood.]]
RF LUK 22:45 And rising up from His prayer, He came toward the disciples, and found them sleeping, overcome with grief;
RF LUK 22:46 and said to them, "Why do you sleep? rise up and pray, so that trial may not come upon you."
RF LUK 22:47 The Arrest.
While He was still speaking, a crowd made its appearance, headed by him who was called Judas, one of the twelve; and he came up to Jesus to kiss Him.
RF LUK 22:48 "Judas," exclaimed Jesus, "do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?"
RF LUK 22:49 Now those about Him, foreseeing what would happen, asked Him, "Master, shall we strike with a sword?"
RF LUK 22:50 And one of them struck the servant of the High Priest, cutting off his right ear.
RF LUK 22:51 But Jesus, addressing him, said, "Here let the matter rest"; and, touching the ear, He cured it.
RF LUK 22:52 Jesus then asked those who came against Him from the chief priests, the officers of the temple-guard, and the elders, "Are you come out with swords and staves, as if you were in pursuit of a robber?
RF LUK 22:53 While I was daily with you in the temple, you did not attempt to arrest Me. But this hour, and that of the power of darkness, is yours."
RF LUK 22:54 Then arresting Him, they took Him to the house of the High Priest, Peter following at a distance.
RF LUK 22:55 And when they had lit a fire in the middle of the court, and were standing around it, Peter seated himself among them.
RF LUK 22:56 Peter's Denial.
A maid-servant then noticing him sitting in the light, looked at him, remarking, "Why, this fellow was with Him!"
RF LUK 22:57 But be denied it, saying, "I do not know Him, woman!"
RF LUK 22:58 A short time after, another saw him, and said, "You, too, belong to them!"
"Man, I do not," was Peter's reply.
RF LUK 22:59 And about an hour afterwards, another declared the same thing, saying, "By my oath, this fellow was also with Him; for he is a Galilean."
RF LUK 22:60 But Peter responded, "I do not know, man, what you are talking about!" And immediately a bugle sounded while he was speaking.
RF LUK 22:61 Then the Master, turning round, looked upon Peter; and Peter called to mind the word of his Master, how He had told him, "Before the bugle sounds you will have thrice denied Me."
RF LUK 22:62 And, rushing out, he wept bitterly.
RF LUK 22:63 The Derision of the Son of Man.
Now, those who had Jesus in charge ridiculed and assaulted Him;
RF LUK 22:64 and, blindfolding Him, they struck Him in the face, and asked Him, saying, "Guess who it is that strikes You?"
RF LUK 22:65 And many other insults they uttered against Him.
RF LUK 22:66 The Judean Mock Trial.
As soon as it was day, the representatives of the people, chief priests, and professors assembled; and they led Him into their senate, saying,
RF LUK 22:67 "If You are the Messiah, tell us."
"If I were to tell you," he answered them, "you would not believe;
RF LUK 22:68 and if I were to argue, you would neither discuss the matter nor discharge Me.
RF LUK 22:69 From now, however, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the power of God."
RF LUK 22:70 "Are You the Son of God, then?" they all exclaimed. "You yourselves say that I am," He replied to them.
RF LUK 22:71 "What further need have we of evidence?" they then shouted; "we ourselves have heard enough from His own mouth."
