F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 22:1-13

Selling or Serving the Master Luke 22:1-13 The world seemed in arms against the greatest Lover of souls that had ever trod earth’s soil. Satan entered the heart of Judas, for it was his hour, and he gathered all his strength for one last prodigious effort to overthrow the Son of man and thwart His sublime purpose of redemption. Judas, one of the inner circle, did not hesitate to choose thirty pieces of silver rather than love, purity, compassion, as they were incarnate in the Son of man.... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 22:1-71

Here we have the record of final things before the Cross. The priests and the devil are seen in coalition. As the end approached, the Master is seen with the shadow of the Cross on Him, desiring to eat the Passover with His loved ones. Even in this connection the disciples contend over which of them is to be accounted the greatest. After the observance of the Passover and the institution of the new Feast, He declared to them, "Satan hath obtained you by asking" (margin). Notice carefully... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 22:2-5

PLANNING THE BETRAYAL‘The chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill Him … Then entered Satan into Judas … And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.’Luke 22:2-Deuteronomy :No part of our Lord’s history is so fully given by all the Gospel writers as this: only two of them describe the circumstances of Christ’s birth, all four dwell minutely on Christ’s death; and of all the four no one supplies us with such full and interesting details as Luke. I. The first step in... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:1-71

Jesus Is Crucified And Rises Again (22:1-24:53). We now come to the final Section of Luke which is also in the form of a chiasmus (see analysis below). Central in this final chiasmus is the crucifixion of Jesus. This brings out how central the crucifixion is in the thinking of Luke. As the Servant of the Lord He is to be numbered among the transgressors for their sakes (Luke 22:37). This is indeed what the Gospel has been leading up to, something that is further demonstrated by the space given... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:3

‘And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve, But in the camp of Jesus there was treachery afoot. It was actively caused by Satan (compare John 13:2; John 13:27). For Satan entered one of His disciples, who was called Judas Iscariot, one of the favoured Twelve (compare Luke 6:16). Outwardly his thoughts of treachery were possibly stirred because he was approached by adherents of the authorities, who probably similarly sounded out all the Apostles with... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 22:1-6

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 22:1 Feast of unleavened bread.—Which lasted for a week. Called the Passover.—An explanation for Gentile readers. Strictly speaking, it was the 15th Nisan, and not the whole week, that was the Passover, “the great day of the feast.”Luke 22:2. Chief priests, etc.—The Pharisees now drop out of the foreground. Those now most active against Christ were the Sadducean party. Sought.—This corresponds to the calling of the council and the deliberation spoken of in John 11:47. For... read more
