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

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Luke 22:1-71

Seeking Opportunity Luk 22:3 Here is a vivid instance of the craft of that old serpent the devil. He did not seek out a stranger, a prominent politician, or statesman, or leader of the general public; he entered into one of the twelve. We should recognise ability wherever we discern it. Here is a lesson for the Church. Only one of the twelve could have done this work. A singular qualification for mischief indeed, a qualification undeniable; that which ought to have been the secret of the best... read more

Robert Hawker

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Luke 22:63-71

"And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him. (64) And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee? (65) And many other things blasphemously spake they against him. (66) And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying, (67) Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe: (68)... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Luke 22:63-71

63-71 Those that condemned Jesus for a blasphemer, were the vilest blasphemers. He referred them to his second coming, for the full proof of his being the Christ, to their confusion, since they would not admit the proof of it to their conviction. He owns himself to be the Son of God, though he knew he should suffer for it. Upon this they ground his condemnation. Their eyes being blinded, they rush on. Let us meditate on this amazing transaction, and consider Him who endured such contradiction... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Luke 22:1-99

Luke 22 AS WE COMMENCE to read this chapter, we reach the closing scenes of our Lord’s life. The Passover was not only a standing witness to Israel’s deliverance from Egypt but also a type of the great Sacrifice which was yet to come. Now at last the climax approached, and “Christ our Passover” was to be sacrificed for us precisely at the Passover season. The religious leaders were scheming how they might kill Him in spite of the fact that many of the people viewed Him with favour. Satan... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Luke 22:66-71

Summary of the trial: v. 66. And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led Him into their council, saying, v. 67. Art Thou the Christ! Tell us. And He said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe; v. 68. and if I also ask you, ye will not answer Me, nor let Me go. v. 69. Hereafter shall the Son of Man sit on the right hand of the power of God. v. 70. Then said they all, Art Thou, then, the Son of God? And He... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Luke 22:63-71

b. THE MOCKING AT THE LORD, AND HIS CONDEMNATION (Luke 22:63-71)(Parallel with Matthew 26:67-68; Matthew 27:1 a; Mark 14:65; Mark 15:1)63, And the men that held Jesus mocked him, and smote him. 64And when they had blindfolded him, they struck him on the face,21 and asked him, saying, Prophesy, who is it that smote thee? 65And many other things blasphemously [or, contumeliously] spake they against him. 66And as soon as it was day, the elders [lit., the eldership, πρεσβυτέριον] of the people and... read more

Alexander MacLaren

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Luke 22:62-71

Luke IN THE HIGH PRIEST’S PALACE Luk_22:54 - Luk_22:71 . The present passage deals with three incidents, each of which may be regarded either as an element in our Lord’s sufferings or as a revelation of man’s sin. He is denied, mocked, and formally rejected and condemned. A trusted friend proves faithless, the underlings of the rulers brutally ridicule His prophetic claims, and their masters vote Him a blasphemer for assenting His divinity and Messiahship. I. We have the failure of loyalty... read more
