Luke 22:1
King James Version
22 Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh,
which is called the Passover.
What an astounding morning today was!
SPIRIT woke me up before four a.m., alerting me to Scripture.
On this 22nd day of September, He led me to Luke 22.
And the discoveries I found!
What a RICH chapter concerning the LORD's plight and truth!
Many things happened with JESUS and the feast of Passover.
Here are the things I learned:
Luke 22:2
King James Version
2 And the chief priests and scribes
sought how they might kill him;
for they feared the people.
Luke 22:3-6
King James Version
3 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot,
being of the number of the twelve.
4 And he went his way,
and communed with the chief priests and captains,
how he might betray him unto them.
5 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
6 And he promised,
and sought opportunity to betray him unto them
in the absence of the multitude.
Luke 22:7
King James Version
7 Then came the day of unleavened bread,
when the passover must be killed.
Luke 22:8-13
King James Version
8 And he sent Peter and John, saying,
Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.
9 And they said unto him,
Where wilt thou that we prepare?
10 And he said unto them,
Behold, when ye are entered into the city,
there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water;
follow him into the house where he entereth in.
11 And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house,
The Master saith unto thee,
Where is the guestchamber,
where I shall eat the passover with my disciples?
12 And he shall shew you a large upper room furnished:
there make ready.
13 And they went,
and found as he had said unto them:
and they made ready the passover.
Luke 22:14-18
King James Version
14 And when the hour was come,
he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.
15 And he said unto them,
With desire I have desired to eat this passover
with you before I suffer:
16 For I say unto you,
I will not any more eat thereof,
until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said,
Take this, and divide it among yourselves:
18 For I say unto you,
I will not drink of the fruit of the vine,
until the kingdom of God shall come.
Luke 22:19-20
King James Version
19 And he took bread,
and gave thanks, and brake it,
and gave unto them, saying,
This is my body which is given for you:
this do in remembrance of me.
20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying,
This cup is the new testament in my blood,
which is shed for you.
Luke 22:21-23
King James Version
21 But, behold,
the hand of him that betrayeth me
is with me on the table.
22 And truly the Son of man goeth,
as it was determined:
but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!
23 And they began to enquire among themselves,
which of them it was that should do this thing.
Luke 22:24-26
King James Version
24 And there was also a strife among them,
which of them should be accounted the greatest.
25 And he said unto them,
The kings of the Gentiles exercise lordship over them;
and they that exercise authority upon them
are called benefactors.
26 But ye shall not be so:
but he that is greatest among you,
let him be as the younger;
and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.
Luke 22:27
King James Version
27 For whether is greater,
he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth?
is not he that sitteth at meat?
but I am among you as he that serveth.
Luke 22:28
King James Version
28 Ye are they which have continued with me
in my temptations.
Luke 22:29-30
King James Version
29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom,
as my Father hath appointed unto me;
30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom,
and sit on thrones
judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
Luke 22:31-32
King James Version
31 And the Lord said,
Simon, Simon,
behold, Satan hath desired to have you,
that he may sift you as wheat:
32 But I have prayed for thee,
that thy faith fail not:
and when thou art converted,
strengthen thy brethren.
Luke 22:33-34
King James Version
33 And he said unto him,
Lord, I am ready to go with thee,
both into prison, and to death.
34 And he said,
I tell thee, Peter,
the cock shall not crow this day,
before that thou shalt thrice deny
that thou knowest me.
Luke 22:35-38
King James Version
35 And he said unto them,
When I sent you without purse,
and scrip, and shoes,
lacked ye any thing?
And they said, Nothing.
36 Then said he unto them,
But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it,
and likewise his scrip:
and he that hath no sword,
let him sell his garment, and buy one.
37 For I say unto you,
that this that is written
must yet be accomplished in me,
And he was reckoned among the transgressors:
for the things concerning me have an end.
38 And they said,
Lord, behold, here are two swords.
And he said unto them, It is enough.
Luke 22:39-40
King James Version
39 And he came out,
and went, as he was wont,
to the mount of Olives;
and his disciples also followed him.
40 And when he was at the place, he said unto them,
Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
Luke 22:41-44
King James Version
41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast,
and kneeled down, and prayed,
42 Saying,
Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me:
nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
43 And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven,
strengthening him.
44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly:
and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood
falling down to the ground.
Luke 22:45-46
King James Version
45 And when he rose up from prayer,
and was come to his disciples,
he found them sleeping for sorrow,
46 And said unto them,
Why sleep ye?
rise and pray,
lest ye enter into temptation.
Luke 22:47-48
King James Version
47 And while he yet spake,
behold a multitude,
and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve,
went before them, and drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.
48 But Jesus said unto him,
Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man
with a kiss?
Luke 22:49-51
King James Version
49 When they which were about him
saw what would follow,
they said unto him,
Lord, shall we smite with the sword?
50 And one of them smote the servant of the high priest,
and cut off his right ear.
51 And Jesus answered and said,
Suffer ye thus far.
And he touched his ear, and healed him.
Luke 22:52-53
King James Version
52 Then Jesus said unto the chief priests,
and captains of the temple, and the elders,
which were come to him,
Be ye come out, as against a thief,
with swords and staves?
53 When I was daily with you in the temple,
ye stretched forth no hands against me:
but this is your hour,
and the power of darkness.
Luke 22:54-62
King James Version
54 Then took they him, and led him,
and brought him into the high priest's house.
And Peter followed afar off.
55 And when they had kindled a fire
in the midst of the hall,
and were set down together,
Peter sat down among them.
56 But a certain maid beheld him as he sat by the fire,
and earnestly looked upon him, and said,
This man was also with him.
57 And he denied him, saying,
Woman, I know him not.
58 And after a little while another saw him, and said,
Thou art also of them.
And Peter said, Man, I am not.
59 And about the space of one hour after
another confidently affirmed, saying,
Of a truth this fellow also was with him:
for he is a Galilaean.
60 And Peter said,
Man, I know not what thou sayest.
And immediately, while he yet spake, the cock crew.
61 And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter.
And Peter remembered the word of the Lord,
how he had said unto him,
Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice.
62 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.
Luke 22:64-65
King James Version
64 And when they had blindfolded him,
they struck him on the face, and asked him, saying,
Prophesy, who is it that smote thee?
65 And many other things
blasphemously spake they against him.
Luke 22:66-71
King James Version
66 And as soon as it was day,
the elders of the people
and the chief priests and the scribes came together,
and led him into their council, saying,
67 Art thou the Christ? tell us.
And he said unto them,
If I tell you, ye will not believe:
68 And if I also ask you,
ye will not answer me, nor let me go.
69 Hereafter shall the Son of man sit
on the right hand of the power of God.
70 Then said they all,
Art thou then the Son of God?
And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.
71 And they said, What need we any further witness?
for we ourselves have heard of his own mouth.
In SUMMARY, these happened with JESUS at Passover:
The priests and scribes sought how they might kill JESUS.
Satan entered Judas, with the intention of betraying the LORD.
On the feast of unleavened bread, the passover must be killed.
JESUS celebrates Passover with His apostles.
As JESUS sat with His apostles, He prophesied His suffering.
The cup He offered was the new testament in His blood, shed for man.
JESUS knew who was going to betray Him.
If one was to be chief -- the greatest -- he must serve.
JESUS was that who served men.
His apostles have stayed with JESUS through many struggles.
JESUS appoints unto them a kingdom.
His apostles will sit on thrones, judging the 12 tribes of Israel.
JESUS warns Simon about Satan desiring to have his soul.
Peter affirms his dedication to JESUS.
Where before, JESUS asked His apostles to have nothing, now, He asked they have purse, scrip, and sword.
At the Mount of Olives, JESUS warned His apostles about temptation.
JESUS prays for His Father's will; an angel strengthens Him.
As He prayed earnestly, His sweat was like great drops of blood.
Done with prayer, JESUS finds His apostles sleeping, just as He warned.
Judas gives JESUS the kiss of betrayal.
One of His apostles cuts off the ear of a servant of the high priest.
JESUS heals that servant.
As they came for Him, JESUS declares it is the chief priests', captains', and elders' "hour", and "power of darkness".
Peter denies knowing JESUS thrice, just as the LORD prophesied.
The LORD's persecutors struck and mocked Him.
The elders, chief priests, and scribes demand to know if JESUS was the CHRIST.
JESUS knows they won't believe Him, even if He confirmed it.
They demand to know if He was the Son of God.
JESUS simply said, "Ye say that I am."
Which was all His persecutors needed.
The next post reveals the beginnings of Passover.
