The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 22:15-16

The Passion, from two standpoints. I. As IT LOOKED TO OUR LORD WHEN HE WAS APPROACHING IT . It was to him a terrible trial, which he was eager to reach and pass through. "With desire he desired" the time to arrive when he should suffer and should complete his work. He did not wish to escape it; he was not looking about for an alternative; he knew that he could not save himself if he would save the world; and he longed for the trial-time to come and to be passed.

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 22:16-18

For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. There was yet one other reason for the Master's special desire once more to eat the solemn Passover with his chosen disciples. He would, by some significant action and word, show that the great Jewish feast, for so many centuries the central act of the ritual observances under the Mosaic Law, from henceforth would be superseded by a new and a yet more solemn religious rite. The Jewish Passover... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 22:19-20

And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gays unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you . Around these words, and the parallel passages in SS . Matthew and Mark, for more than a thousand years fierce theological disputes have raged. Men have gone gladly to prison and to death rather than renounce what they believed to be... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 22:19-20

The Lord's Supper. A very simple rite as first observed was the Lord's Supper. But for certain passages in the Acts of the Apostles and in the Epistles, we should not have known that Jesus Christ intended to create a permanent institution. But though the simpler the ceremony is the more scriptural it is, yet are the ideas associated with it and suggested by it many and important. They are these— I. THE NEAR PRESENCE OF OUR LORD . Not in the elements but presiding over the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 22:15

With desire I have desired - This is a Hebrew form of expression, and means “I have greatly desired.” The reasons why he desired this we may suppose to have been:That, as he was about to leave them, he was desirous once of seeing them together, and of partaking with them of one of the religious privileges of the Jewish dispensation. Jesus was “man” as well as God, and he never undervalued the religious rites of his country, or the blessings of social and religious contact; and there is no... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 22:17

And he took the cup and gave thanks - This was not the “sacramental” cup, for that was taken “after” supper, Luke 22:20. This was one of the cups which were usually taken during the celebration of the Passover, and pertained to that observance. “After” he had kept this in the usual manner, he instituted the supper which bears his name, using the bread and wine which had been prepared for the Passover, and thus ingrafted the Lord’s Supper on the Passover, or superseded the Passover by another... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 22:14-18

Luke 22:14-18 . When the hour was come, &c. When the evening approached, Jesus left Bethany; and every thing being prepared by the time he came into the city, they all sat down at the appointed hour. And he said, With desire I have desired That is, I have earnestly desired it. He desired it, both for the sake of his disciples, to whom he desired to manifest himself further, at this solemn parting; and for the sake of his whole church, that he might institute the grand memorial of his... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 22:19-20

Luke 22:19-20. And he took bread Namely, some time after, when the supper was ended, wherein they had eaten the paschal lamb. And gave thanks, and brake it Matthew and Mark say, Blessed and brake it. They do not say, Blessed it: for the word it, though supplied in our translation in Matthew, is not in the original: for which reason, and because Luke here uses the word ευχαριστησας , he gave thanks, many are of opinion that the word God should be supplied in Matthew; he blessed... read more
