Luke 22:14-19

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 22:7-20

What a hopeful prospect had we of Christ's doing a great deal of good by his preaching in the temple during the feast of unleavened bread, which continued seven days, when the people were every morning, and early in the morning, so attentive to hear him! But here is a stop put to it. He must enter upon work of another kind; in this, however, he shall do more good than in the other, for neither Christ's nor his church's suffering days are their idle empty days. Now here we have, I. The... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Luke 22:7-23

22:7-23 There came the day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, on which the Passover had to be sacrificed. Jesus despatched Peter and John. "Go," he said, "and make ready the Passover for us that we may eat it." They said to him, "Where do you want us to make it ready?" "Look you," he said to them, "when you have gone into the city, a man will meet you, carrying a jar of water. Follow him to the house into which he enters; and you will say to the master of the house, 'The Teacher says to you,... read more

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

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

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.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:15

With desire I have desired - A Hebraism for, I have desired most earnestly. Our Lord's meaning seems to be, that, having purposed to redeem a lost world by his blood, he ardently longed for the time in which he was to offer himself up. Such love did the holy Jesus bear to the human race. This eucharistic passover was celebrated once, by way of anticipation, before the bloody sacrifice of the victim of salvation, and before the deliverance it was appointed to commemorate; as the figurative... read more
