Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 22:21-23

Luke 22:21-23. But behold Πλην ιδου . This particle ( πλην , verumtamen, nevertheless, or notwithstanding) “is a proof,” says Bengelius, “that Judas was present at the Lord’s supper;” for it shows that Christ’s discourse is continued without interruption; and it appears, from Luke 22:14, that when he sat down to the supper and begun the discourse, the twelve were with him: Dr. Lightfoot was of the same opinion, who says, “What can be desired more, as a demonstration that Judas was present... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 22:21-23

141. A traitor among them (Matthew 26:20-25; Mark 14:17-21; Luke 22:21-23; John 13:21-35)The apostles were surprised when Jesus announced that one of them would betray him, for they did not suspect treachery among them. Perhaps they thought that one of them might unintentionally betray him through speaking carelessly. But Judas knew what Jesus meant (Matthew 26:20-22; John 13:21-25). When Jesus took a piece of bread, dipped it in the dish and gave it to Judas, he was giving Judas a special... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 22:21-22

Luke 22:21-22. The hand of him that betrayeth me, &c.— Our Lord, after delivering the sacramental cup, and telling them that his blood was shed for them, mentions the treachery of Judas a second time; and this second declaration came in with peculiar propriety after the institution of the sacrament, which exhibits the highest instance of love to mankind,—his dying to obtain a remission of their sins; for it shewed that the person who could deliberately do so great an injury to so kind a... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 22:14-38

C. Events in the upper room 22:14-38Luke included more information about what Jesus said and did on this occasion than Matthew or Mark did. John’s account is the fullest of all (John 13-17). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 22:21-23

3. Jesus’ announcement of His betrayal 22:21-23 (cf. Matthew 26:21-25; Mark 14:18-21; John 13:21-30)Luke placed Jesus’ announcement of His betrayal after the institution of the Lord’s Supper whereas Matthew and Mark located it before that event in their Gospels. The effect of Luke’s placement is that the betrayal appears as especially heinous in view of Jesus’ self-sacrifice for His disciples. The connecting link is the reference to Jesus’ death. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 22:22

Jesus then affirmed again that He was going to die and thereby fulfill God’s plan (cf. Acts 2:23; Acts 10:42; Acts 17:31; Romans 1:4). Luke used a strong word (Gr. horismemon, "determined" or "decreed") to stress God’s sovereignty in these affairs. The title "Son of Man" helped the disciples appreciate that this was part of God’s will for the Messiah who would reign. Jesus pronounced woe on the betrayer as He had on the religious leaders and on Jerusalem for rejecting Him. There is a play on... read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 22:21-23

(21-23) But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me . . .—See Notes on Matthew 26:21; Matthew 26:25; Mark 14:18; Mark 14:21; John 13:21; John 13:35. St. Luke’s account is here the briefest, St. John’s by far the fullest. There is again a slight discrepancy in the order of facts, St. Luke placing the mention of the Betrayal after, St. Matthew and St. Mark before, the institution of the memorial. St. John, who makes no mention of the institution, leaves the question open. On the whole, the... read more
