Luke
Chapter 22
22:1``Now
the Feast of Unleavened Bread,
which
is called the Passover,
kept
on approaching/'drawing near'.
22:2``And,
the chief priests and the scribes/'experts in the law'
kept
on seeking 'how they might kill Him {Jesus} . . .
for
they kept on being afraid of the people.
{Note: Jesus was a treat to their livelihood. He was a treat to their lifestyles. He made them 'feel bad' about what they were doing. So, their guilt, turned to anger and turned to thoughts of murder. But they were afraid that if they just had Him killed, the people would kill them!}
22:3``Then
Satan entered Judas,
having
the surname Iscariot . . .
'who
was one of the twelve'/'being one numbered of the twelve'.
22:4``And,
having gone off,
he
{Satan possessed Judas} conferred/discussed
with
the chief priests and the captains/
'officers
of the temple guard' {strategos}
how
he might be betraying/'turning over' Jesus to them.
22:5``And, they were delighted and arranged to give him money.
22:6``So
he agreed/promised
and
went to seeking an opportunity to betray Him {Jesus}
to
them in the absence of the crowd
{so the crowd would not turn on them and protect Jesus}.
22:7``Then
the Day of Unleavened Bread came,
on
which the Passover/Paschal lamb
had
to keep on being 'killed as a sacrifice' {thuo}.
{Note: The paschal lamb refers to the lamb the Israelites were accustomed to slay and eat on the fourteenth day of the month of Nisan (the first month of their year) in memory of the day on which their fathers, preparing to depart from Egypt, were bidden by God to slay and eat a lamb, and to sprinkle their door posts with its blood - so that the destroying angel, seeing the blood, might pass over their dwellings. The slain paschal lamb was a 'type' of Jesus Christ crucified - the lamb without spot.}
22:8``And,
He {Jesus} sent on a mission under His authority
Peter
and John, saying, " Having gone your way . ..
prepare
us the Passover {feast} { pascha}
for
the purpose that we may eat."
22:9``And,
they {Peter and John} said to Him {Jesus},
"Where
do You desire, that we may make preparations?"
22:10-11``And,
He {Jesus} said to them {Peter and John},
"Behold
{pay attention}, after you have entered the city,
a
man carrying an 'earthenware jar' of water will meet you.
Follow
him {an order}
into
the house that he enters, 22:11``
and
say to the 'good ruler'/owner {oikodespotes} of the house,
'The
Teacher {didaskalos} says to you,
"Where
is the guest room where I may eat the Passover
with
My students/disciples {mathetes}?"'
22:12``'And
he himself' {kakeinos}
will
show you a large upper room {anogeon} . . .
completely
furnished in the past with results that last forever
{stronnumi - perfect tense}.
Make
it ready there."
22:13``So
having gone off, they discovered { heurisko} . . . {things}
just
as He {Jesus} had told them in the past
with
results that last forever {lego - perfect tense}
and
they prepared the Passover {feast}.
22:14``And,
when the hour came/
'became
what it was not before' {ginomai},
He
{Jesus} 'reclined at His place at the table' {anapipto}
and
the apostles {joined} with Him.
22:15``And
He {Jesus} said face to face with them
{the apostles - including remember Satan possessed Judas at this
point},
"I
have 'earnestly desired' {epithumia}
to
eat this Passover {pascha} with you
before
I suffer {pascho}.
{Note: Note the play on words - pascha and pascho. A paronomasia or pun if you prefer.}
22:16``For
I {Jesus} say to you,
I
will ABSOLUTELY NOT {ou me} anymore eat the same again
until
it may be fulfilled {pleroo} in the kingdom of God."
{Note: 'Ou me' is a double negative. A double negative in the Greek is a very strong negative.}
22:17``And,
having taken a cup . . . {and} having given thanks . . .
He
{Jesus} said, "Take this
and
divide it among yourselves {two commands}.
22:18``For
I {Jesus} say to you that I ABSOLUTELY will NOT ever
{ou me - strong double negative again - a very strong negative -
literally 'absolutely not never'}
possibly
drink of the fruit of the vine
until
the kingdom of God may come."
22:19``And,
having taken bread . . . {and} having given thanks,
He
{Jesus} broke {it} and gave to them, saying,
"This
is My body which is given
'as
a substitute for'/'on behalf of' {huper} you.
Keep
on doing this in remembrance {anamnesis} of Me {an order}."
22:20``And
the cup likewise
He
{Jesus} took after they had supper, saying,
"This
cup . . . {is} the 'new in kind or quality' {kainos}
covenant/testament
. . .
{constituted
so} 'by means of'/in My blood . . .
which
is being poured out 'on your behalf'/'for you'.
22:21``
"Nevertheless {plen} . . . behold {pay attention}
the
hand of the one betraying Me . . .
{is}
with Me on the table {referring to Judas Iscariot}.
22:22``And,
the 'Son of Man' is goes
as
it 'was determined in the past with the result
that
it was determined forever' {horizo -perfect tense}.
Nevertheless
{plen} . . . woe to that man
through
whose intermediate agency
He
{Jesus/'the Son of Man'} is being betrayed!"
22:23``And,
they themselves
began
to be discussing among themselves
which
one of them it would be
who
'was desiring' {eimi - optative mood}
'to
be intending' {mello} 'to commit/do' {prasso} this thing.
22:24``Now
there began also
an
'eager contention' {philoneikia} among them
over
which of them
'gave
the impression'/'was to be regarded' {dokeo}
to
keep on being the greatest.
{an 'immature' discussion indicating they truly are 'students' and not
yet 'masters' themselves}
22:25``So
He {Jesus} said to them,
"The
kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship {kurieuo} over them;
and
'those exercising authority over' {exousiazo} them
are
called 'benefactors' {euergetes}.
22:26``But
it absolutely must not {ouk} be like that with you!
Instead
{alla - contrast}
the
he who is greatest among you
he
must become {ginomai - an order}
like
the 'recently born'
{neos - a true humble attitude - not exhibit himself greater then a
baby believer},
and
'the leader'/'the one leading' {hegeomai}
like
the one who serves
{a good leader is one who understands and does not misuse
authority. This usually is one who has been UNDER authority
himself and understands the needs of the one being lead - this
indicates a lack of power lust and approbation lust and instead
indicates an attitude of loyalty up and down, honesty, respect,
expecting good work and rewarding the same but also fairly
disciplining the lack of it. Fair and just yet humble leadership.
Saul took the name 'Paul' which means little. Petros means a
'little chip'. Jesus is the Petra/'Huge Boulder' on which this
Church was built.}.
22:27``For
who is greater . . .
the
'one reclining at the dinner table' {anakeimai} . . .
or
the one serving {diakoneo}?
Is it absolutely not the 'one reclining at the dinner table'?
But I {Jesus as their Teacher} am among you as one serving.
{Note: 'It is not by bread alone that man survives, but by every Word that proceeds out of His mouth.' Jesus is serving up doctrine/'divine viewpoint'/'His Mind'. So who is greater . . . the teacher or the hearer? In this case the Teacher - no question. And, for those exercising the spiritual gift of pastor and teacher, when filled with God the Holy Spirit, and faithfully teaching 'line upon line, precept upon precept'/'book by book, word for word' . . . that man is truly Jesus' Ambassador on Earth . . . allowing Him to produce diving good through him.}
22:28``"You
are the ones who 'have remained in the past
with
the result that you remain forever' {diameno - perfect tense}
with
Me . . . in My 'trials/testings/temptations {peirasmos}.
{Note: The humanity of Jesus Christ had to set aside all the attributes of His deity and operate under the filling of God the Holy Spirit during the 1st incarnation. His temptations to violate this provision was real. When Satan tempted Him to turn stones into bread, this was a true temptation - His deity COULD do so, and His humanity WAS starving! The humanity of Jesus Christ was tested and tempted and tried more then any human ever born. Yet, for the sake of each and every one of us, He resisted all temptations and went to the cross without sin (and to violate the expressed will of God would certainly have been a sin - nevertheless - Thy Will be done!).}
22:29-30``And,
as for Myself,
I
'dispose by will'/'make a covenant'/am appointing' {diatithemai}
to
you . . . a kingdom {basileia},
just
as My Father 'disposed by will'/'made a covenant'/
appointed
{diatithemai} to Me . . . 22:30``
for
the purpose that
you
may eat and drink
at
My table
in
My kingdom . . .
and
you may sit on thrones . . .
judging
the twelve tribes of Israel.
{Note: This verse has a couple of meaning. Jesus, through His legal father, Joseph is the legitimate heir to the throne of David. Those who believe in Him will share in His rulership. Jesus in His Hypostatic Union, through His birth by means of His real Father - God - is Supreme over the universe - as God granted to Him. And, from the previous verses, Jesus was discussing His 'serving' the students. When He departs, it will be turned over to them the responsibility to feed others.}
22:31``"Simon,
Simon, behold {pay attention}!
Satan,
by asking {God},
'obtained
you {and your fellow students/disciples}
for
tribulation/punishment/torture' {exaiteomai}
to
sift . . . {you} like wheat.
{the stalk of wheat is beaten and beaten and beaten. This
process separates the wheat grain from the tears (the rest of the
wheat stalk). This is an analogy to a very violent process that
separates 'divine good' (which only believes who have been
imputed with the righteousness of God have) from the
bad (anyone without the imputed righteousness of God)}
{Note: See the book of Job. Satan is in the courtroom of heaven today, bringing charges against all of us. He asks God for the right to 'test' us to prove we are not 'worthy'. But each and every time, our 'defense attorney' admits to the truth that we are sinners, yes, but the punishment for that sin 'has been' (or 'will be' before the cross) imputed to Christ on the cross and judged. Law of double jeopardy says the sin can not be punished twice. Jesus Christ in resurrection body is our defense attorney in heaven today. The dispute continues.}
22:32``But
I {Jesus}
'have
prayed'/'made supplications' {deomai} for you
that
your faith/doctrine {pistis}
'may
not fail'/'may not be totally eclipsed' {ekleipo}.
And,
when you have
'turned
back'/returned to your original position
with
regard to your faith/doctrine' {epistrepho} . . .
Stabilize/'Make
constant'/Strengthen {sterizo - an order} . . .
your
brothers."
{Note: All people growing in spiritual maturity will be tested. This is God's method for proving to the angels and others around you the strength and determination of your faith and the doctrine you have metabolized into your soul. When you pass your tests, this is an encouragement to those around you - teaching by example. Believe, consistently take in doctrine, rely on the Lord, keep a relaxed mental attitude, and continuously apply your learned 'divine viewpoint' to life's experiences - 'His grace is sufficient for you'. }
