Luke 22:21

Luke 22:21

19 ^aAnd He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My ^bbody which is given for you; ^cdo this in remembrance of Me.”

20 Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, ^a“This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.

21 ^aBut behold, the hand of My betrayer is with Me on the table.

22 ^aAnd truly the Son of Man goes ^bas it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!”

23 ^aThen they began to question among themselves, which of them it was who would do this thing.

The Disciples Argue About Greatness

24 ^aNow there was also a dispute among them, as to which of them should be considered the greatest.

25 ^aAnd He said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them, and those who exercise authority over them are called ‘benefactors.’

26 ^aBut not so among you; on the contrary, ^bhe who is greatest among you, let him be as the younger, and he who governs as he who serves.

27 ^aFor who is greater, he who sits at the table, or he who serves? Is it not he who sits at the table? Yet ^bI am among you as the One who serves.

28 “But you are those who have continued with Me in ^aMy trials.

29 And ^aI bestow upon you a kingdom, just as My Father bestowed one upon Me,

30 that ^ayou may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, ^band sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.”

Jesus Predicts Peter’s Denial

31 ¹And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, ^aSatan has asked for you, that he may ^bsift you as wheat.

32 But ^aI have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, ^bstrengthen your brethren.”

John Wesley's Notes

<< Luke 22:20

Luke 22:22 >>

The hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table - It is evident Christ spake these words before he instituted the Lord's Supper: for all the other evangelists mention the sop, immediately after receiving which he went out: John 13:30. Nor did he return any more, till he came into the garden to betray his Master. Now this could not be dipped or given, but while the meat was on the table. But this was all removed before that bread and cup were brought.
