22:1 Now the {1} feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.
(1) Christ is taken upon the day of the Passover rather by the providence of his Father, than by the will of men.
22:1 The Last Supper
SUMMARY OF LUKE 22:
The Rulers Take Steps to Slay the Lord. Judas Bargains to Betray Christ. The Passover Prepared. The Lord's Supper Instituted. The Traitor Pointed Out. Exhortation to the Apostles.
The feast of unleavened bread. The Passover, so called because no leavened bread was eaten during the passover week.
22:1 Mt 26:1; Mr 14:1.
22:1-6 Christ knew all men, and had wise and holy ends in taking Judas to be a disciple. How he who knew Christ so well, came to betray him, we are here told; Satan entered into Judas. It is hard to say whether more mischief is done to Christ's kingdom, by the power of its open enemies, or by the treachery of its pretended friends; but without the latter, its enemies could not do so much evil as they do.
