Luke 22:24

OLBGrk; Luke only taketh notice of this strife at the time of their being in the guest chamber. Such a strife we read of, MATTHEW 2:1; MATTHEW 18:25,26 MARK 9:33 and in this Gospel, LUKE 9:46; by which it is apparent, that they had been more than once arguing this point. But yet most interpreters th... [ Continue Reading ]

Luke 22:28

Ver. 28-30. These verses seem to contain (though in a few more words) the substance of what we met with MATTHEW 19:28. There they are spoken as an answer to Peter, speaking on the behalf of himself and the rest of the apostles, who had forsaken all to follow Christ. Christ tells them there, that tho...

Luke 22:31

Ver. 31,32. Our Lord directeth his speech to Peter, as one who (as it will by and by appear) had a greater confidence of himself than the rest expressed, and as one who he foresaw would fall more foully than the rest; though it appears, that in his speech he had a respect to them all, for the word _...

Luke 22:35

Ver. 35-38. Those who interpret LUKE 22:35,36, as a precept of our Saviour's imposing a duty upon his disciples, or a counsel concerning the proviting arms which they might use for the protection and defence of themselves, will not only find a difficulty to reconcile their notion of it to several ot...

Luke 22:39

Both Matthew and Mark say, he went to _a place called Gethsemane; _ but that makes no difference, for whether Gethsemane signifieth a village, or a garden, or a valley, all agree it was at the foot of the mount of Olives. It was a place to which our Saviour had used to go ever since he came to Jerus... [ Continue Reading ]

Luke 22:40

When he came to the mount of Olives, he first setteth his disciples to that work, which at this day was proper for them. PRAY THAT YE ENTER NOT INTO TEMPTATION; that, if it be the will of God, you may be delivered from such an hour of trial as I am entering into; or, at least, that you may not be ov...

Luke 22:41

Whether from the eight, or from Peter, James, and John also, the evangelist doth not tell us; but some are of opinion, that he took the three disciples along to join with him in prayer, from whom some account might be given of the substance of his prayer, which followeth. I rather think he was alone... [ Continue Reading ]
