John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 22:14

And when the hour was come ,.... When it was evening, the last of the two evenings, when it was dark, at least after six o'clock; See Gill on Matthew 26:20 . he sat down ; or lay along on a couch, as was the custom; see the note, as before: and the twelve apostles with him ; for Judas, after he had made his bargain with the chief priests, Scribes, and elders, came and took his place with the rest of the apostles, both to cover his sin, and to watch the best opportunity of betraying... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 22:15

And he said unto them ,.... The twelve apostles, as they were eating the passover, it being usual to talk and converse much at such a time; See Gill on Matthew 26:21 . With desire have I desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer ; not for the sake of eating; for though he was traduced as a glutton, and did often eat and drink in a free and familiar way, both at the tables of Pharisees, and of publicans and sinners; yet he was not a man given to appetite; witness his fast of... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 22:16

For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof ,.... Of the passover, and which now, with the rest of the ceremonial law, was to be abolished: until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God ; signifying, not that he should eat of it in the kingdom of God, where it would be fulfilled; seeing the passover was never more to take place, neither in the Gospel dispensation, nor in the heavenly glory; both which may be meant by the kingdom of God; but that he should never eat more of it in... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 22:17

And he took the cup and gave thanks ,.... There were four cups of wine drank at the passover, which the poorest man in Israel was obliged to drink; and over each of which a blessing was pronounced F13 Maimon. Chametz Umetzah, c. 7. sect. 9,10. : and this was one of them, and seems to be the first; for the passover was begun by mixing a cup of wine, and blessing it, or giving thanks over it F14 Ib. c. 8. sect. 1. ; and which was usually done in the following manner F15 Haggada... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 22:18

For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine ,.... That is, wine; see the blessing at the passover cup in the notes on the preceding verse: until the kingdom of God shall come ; with power, as in Mark 9:1 in the resurrection of Christ from the dead; in his exaltation and session at God's right hand; in the pouring forth of the Spirit on the apostles; in the conversion of great multitudes, both in Judea, and in the Gentile world; in the destruction of the Jews; in the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 22:19

And he took bread and gave thanks ,.... Or blessed it, as in Matthew 26:26 . Here begins the account of the Lord's supper after the passover was eaten; and brake it, and gave unto them ; the disciples, as is expressed in Matthew 26:26 saying, this is my body ; See Gill on Matthew 26:26 . which is given for you ; or will be given for you, as an offering for sin in your room and stead; and accordingly it was given into the hands of men, and of justice, and unto death. The... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 22:20

Likewise also the cup after supper ,.... Both after the passover, and the Lord's supper; that is, he took the cup after they had eaten the bread, and gave thanks over it, and gave it to his disciples, bidding them drink of it, as in Matthew 26:27 , See Gill on Matthew 26:27 , saying, this cup is the New Testament in my blood, which is shed for you . The Ethiopic version reads, "for many"; as in Matthew 26:28 where it is added, "for the remission of sins"; See Gill on Matthew 26:28... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 22:21

But behold the hand of him that betrayeth me ,.... By the "hand" is meant, not figuratively the counsel, contrivance, and conspiracy of Judas to betray him, as the word is used in 2 Samuel 14:19 but literally the hand of Judas, which was then dipping in the dish with Christ, Matthew 26:23 and it follows here, is with me on the table ; and is an aggravation of his sin, that one that sat with him at his table, ate bread with him, and dipped his morsel in the same dish, should be the... read more

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

And truly the son of man goeth ,.... That is, dies, which is going the way of all the earth, Joshua 23:14 as it was determined ; in the counsels and purposes of God, and agreed to by Christ in the covenant of grace; see Acts 2:23 the death of Christ, the manner of it, and the means by which it was brought about, were all predetermined by God; yet this did not, in the least, excuse the sin of those concerned in it, nor exempt them from punishment: but woe unto that man by whom he... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 22:23

And they began to inquire among themselves ,.... Two days before, at the supper in Bethany, when the same thing was hinted to them, they looked at one another, John 13:22 as persons in the utmost surprise and consternation, not being able, for a while, either to speak to Christ, or one another; but now they inquired among themselves, and of Christ likewise, Matthew 26:21 which of them it was that should do this thing ; so barbarous, shocking, and horrible. read more
