John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 22:47

And while he yet spake ,.... The above words to his disciples, behold a multitude . The Persic version adds, "of Jews, with arrows, swords, and spears"; but the multitude consisted partly of Roman soldiers, and partly of the officers of the chief priests: and he that was called Judas : and sometimes Iscariot, to distinguish him from another Judas, who also was of the number of the apostles: one of the twelve ; disciples of Christ, whom he had chosen, called, and ordained: went... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 22:48

But Jesus said unto him, Judas ,.... Calling him by his name, that he might know he knew him, and to aggravate his sin; what, Judas, my apostle, my friend, my familiar friend, in whom I trusted, or with whom I trusted all my worldly affairs, betrayest thou the son of man with a kiss ! who assumed human nature for the good of mankind, who is the Messiah spoken of by the prophets, under the character of the son of man, and who is holy, harmless, and never did any mortal man any hurt or... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 22:49

When they which were about him ,.... That is, the eleven disciples that were about Christ, and with him in the garden: saw what would follow ; that their Lord and master was about to be betrayed by Judas, and would be seized, and carried away by the multitude, that were with him: they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword ? or "swords", as the Syriac and Persic versions read; with the two swords which they had along with them. This they said, not being thoroughly... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 22:50

And one of them smote the servant of the high priest ,.... The person that drew his sword, and performed this daring action, not waiting for an answer from Christ, was Peter, and the high priest's servant, that he smote, was Malchus; both which we learn from John 18:10 and cut off his right ear ; he aimed, no doubt, at his head, but missing his blow, took off his right ear. It is very likely, that this servant was very busy and forward to lay hold on Christ, and showed much virulence,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 22:51

And Jesus answered and said ,.... Not to the question of the disciples, but either to Peter, who had done this rash action; and so the Persic and Ethiopic versions add, "to him"; or else to the multitude, suffer ye thus far ; or to them both, to Peter to stop his hand, to proceed no further, but put up his sword; and so the Arabic version reads, "refrain thyself"; and to the multitude to be easy, and not revenge the affront that was given them: and in order to pacify them, "he went to... read more

Then Jesus said unto the chief priests ,.... After he had wrought this miracle, and had quieted the mob, and restrained them from falling upon the apostles, and cutting them to pieces, which in all likelihood they would otherwise have done; he addressed himself to "the chief priests", who were members of the Jewish sanhedrim, and the captains of the temple ; See Gill on Luke 22:4 .

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 22:53

When I was daily with you in the temple ,.... As he had been for some days past, teaching the people, and disputing with them, the chief priests, &c.; ye stretched forth no hands against me ; to lay hold upon him, and kill him; the reason was, because his time was not come, and they had no licence or permission to hurt him, or any power given them against him from above: but this is your hour ; the time was now come for the betraying of him by Judas; for the seizing and... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:43

There appeared an angel - from heaven - It was as necessary that the fullest evidence should be given, not only of our Lord's Divinity, but also of his humanity: his miracles sufficiently attested the former; his hunger, weariness, and agony in the garden, as well as his death and burial, were proofs of the latter. As man, he needs the assistance of an angel to support his body, worn down by fatigue and suffering. See at the end of Luke 22:44 ; (note). read more
