Treachery of Judas (Matthew 26:1-5, Matthew 26:14-16; Mark 14:1-2, Mark 14:10-11). See on Mt. St. Luke omits the anointing at Bethany, because he has already recorded a similar incident (Luke 7:37).4.

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

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

(22) As it was determined.—The word is eminently characteristic of St. Luke. (Comp. Acts 2:23; Acts 10:42; Acts 17:26; Acts 17:31.)Woe unto that man . . .—As occurring in all the first three Gospels, the words must be noted as among those that had made an indelible impression on those who heard them, and were therefore reproduced verbatim in the midst of many variations on other points of the narrative. read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Luke 22:1-71

Sacramental Thoughts Luke 22:15 It seems almost unjust to these words to speak them loudly. Oh, that we had the power to whisper into the most distant, ear without raising the voice at all! There are far-reaching whispers. The Holy Spirit may now take up our poor weakness and whisper to each listening soul this mournful but most thrilling text. We cannot get rid of the blood-shedding, because it was Jesus Himself who told us about the blood, and His own blood, and why it was shed, and for whom... read more

William Nicoll

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Luke 22:1-71

Chapter 24THE WATCH IN GETHSEMANE.HITHERTO the life of Jesus has been comparatively free from sorrow and from pain. With the exception of the narrow strip of wilderness which fell between the Baptism and His inaugural miracle, the Divine Life has lain for the most part in the sunshine, above the fret and fever of anxious thought and care. True, He had enemies, whose hatred was persistent and virulent; the shafts of calumny fell around Him in one steady rain; His motives were constantly... read more

Geneva Study Bible - Luke 22:21

22:21 {6} But, behold, the {i} hand of him that betrayeth me [is] with me on the table.(6) Christ shows again that he goes willingly to die, although he is not ignorant of Judas’ treason.(i) That is, his practice; the Hebrews used to speak in this way, as in 2 Samuel 14:19 : "Is not the hand of Joab with thee in all this?" read more

John Calvin

Geneva Study Bible - Luke 22:22

22:22 {7} And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!(7) Although the decree of God’s providence necessarily comes to pass, yet it does not excuse the fault of those who bring it to pass. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:1-71

THE TREACHERY OF JUDAS (vs.1-6) As the Passover feast drew near, the chief priests and Pharisees felt hard pressed to find some way of apprehending and killing this "prophet" who was offending their pride. They feared to arrest Him in the presence of the people, and further, they did not want to do it on the Passover, for it might cause an uproar of the people (Matthew 26:5). But God had decreed that the Passover would be the day of His sacrifice. Also Judas, because of having hardened his... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Luke 22:1-71

LAST DAY UPON EARTH Here we meet the momentous events recorded in Matthew 26-27 and Mark 14-15, and there treated as fully as space permitted. The incidents peculiar to Luke are first, the explanation of Judas’ conduct that Satan entered into him (Luke 22:3 ). Satan can enter into no man without his own consent, but the only safeguard against that is the new birth, (John 3:0 ); second, the information that Peter and John were the two disciples sent to make ready the passover (Luke 22:8 );... read more
