Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Luke 22:24-38

4. Familiar and Farewell Discourses (Luke 22:24-38)(In part parallel with Matthew 26:30-35; Mark 14:27-31; John 13:36-38.)24And there was also a strife [there arose also a contention8] among them, which of them should be accounted [appears to be, δοκεῖ9] the greatest. 25And he said unto them, The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and they that exercise authority 26upon them are called benefactors. But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Luke 22:33-37

Luke PARTING PROMISES AND WARNINGS Luk_22:24 - Luk_22:37 . It was blameworthy, but only too natural, that, while Christ’s heart was full of His approaching sufferings, the Apostles should be squabbling about their respective dignity. They thought that the half-understood predictions pointed to a brief struggle immediately preceding the establishment of the kingdom, and they wished to have their rank settled in advance. Possibly, too, they had been disputing as to whose office was the menial... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 22:24-34

Disciples Who Grieve Their Lord Luke 22:24-34 It is probable that this dispute about priority took place on their entering the supper room. It could hardly have taken place after the tender scene of John 13:1-38 . But doubtless the irritated feelings which that contention engendered prepared the way for the testing, sifting and ultimate fall of Peter. It is the little waves that eventually become the mighty billows which wreck the big ships and engulf human lives. Satan cannot assail us... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

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

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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:7-38

Jesus Advances To The Guest-chamber (22:7-38). It is no coincidence that near the beginning of Luke’s Gospel there was no room for Jesus in the ‘kataluma’ (Luke 2:7 - place to stay, guestchamber), but now that He is to be offered up, such a room (kataluma) is to be made available for Him (Luke 22:11-12 below). He is advancing, from the manger to the cross. He is coming towards the fulfilment of His lifework, and in this guestchamber He will participate in His last Passover which will be for... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:14-38

Crisis Point Is Reached In The Guestchamber (22:14-38). In this passage we have described what occurred in the Guestchamber. This divides up into five sections. Overall Analysis. a Jesus manifests the danger that lies before Him, the suffering that He is to face, and the fact of His coming death, providing the symbol of what its significance will be for His disciples in the light of the fact that the Kingly Rule of God is coming (Luke 22:14-20). b Jesus reveals the hand of a betrayer,... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:33

‘And he said to him, “Lord, with you I am ready to go both to prison and to death.” Peter was appalled at Jesus’ words. He had full confidence in his own ability to go through whatever was to come and to overcome it. So acknowledging Jesus’ Lordship, (see in parallel John 13:37. Compare also Luke 5:8; Luke 9:54; Luke 10:17; Luke 10:40; Luke 11:1 etc.) he insists that whether it be prison or death that he has to face, he will face it without fear. And he meant it. Furthermore we must remember... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:31-34

Luke 22:31-Nahum : . Jesus Foretells Peter’ s Denial ( Mark 14:27-Obadiah : *, Matthew 26:31-Habakkuk : *).— Contrast Luke 22:31 f. with Mk. and Mt. (“ All ye shall be offended,” etc.). Luke 22:31 . Satan asked: the verb implies that the request (which was for all the disciples) was successful, (“ Satan has procured to bew given up to him”— Field): the case is similar to that of Job. But on the other hand Jesus has prayed (synchronously with Satan’ s request) that Peter at least should not... read more
