Luke 22 Bible study: As one who serves

"Now the feast of unleavened bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching." (22:1). "The chief priests and the scribes sought how they might put him to death, for they feared the people." (22:2). Then Luke says, "Satan entered into Judas, who was also called Iscariot, who was counted with the twelve." (22:3). "He went away and talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver him to them." (22:4). "They were glad, and agreed to give him money." (22:5), and he "sought an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the multitude" (22:6). Then "The day of unleavened bread came, on which the Passover must be sacrificed." (22:7). Here is what almost everyone misses: Luke names the two Jesus sent. "Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us, that we may eat.”" (22:8). Mark's telling has "He sent two of his disciples" (Mark 14:13), and Matthew's tells that "the disciples came to Jesus" and that "The disciples did as Jesus commanded them" (Matthew 26:17-19). Each is quoted from its own verses, and these notes don't fit them together. Jesus told them to say to the master of the house that the Teacher asks, "Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?" (22:11) (tap guest room), and "They went, found things as Jesus had told them, and they prepared the Passover." (22:13). These notes apply nothing said here of the chief priests and the scribes to anyone today.

Exodus 12:14→leads toLuke 22:15-20

The LORD says of this day, "You shall keep it as a feast throughout your generations" (12:14). Luke says the disciples "prepared the Passover" (Luke 22:13), and Jesus said, "I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer" (Luke 22:15). He took bread: "This is my body which is given for you. Do this in memory of me" (Luke 22:19). And the cup: "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you" (Luke 22:20).

Strong's: "a putting to proof (by experiment (of good), experience (of evil), solicitation, discipline or provocation); by implication, adversity". At the table Jesus says, "But you are those who have continued with me in my trials." (22:28). On the Mount of Olives he tells his disciples, "Pray that you don’t enter into temptation." (22:40), and "Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation." (22:46). Behind trials and temptation is this one noun. Luke's Greek has it six times (counted in RP2018), three of them in this chapter. Favor's Matthew 6 studies the noun.
