Luke 22:1-6 - Plotting to kill Jesus

They knew they’d do it
- John 12:10-17
Now they’re seeking how
Careful about how
- Feared the people
  - Saul; Aaron - Proverbs 29:25
- “Inside involvement” would help
Satan enters Judas
- We all need help! We need to know Jesus better and close the openings Satan will try to use against us.

- The traitor surfaces
- Deal is struck
- Judas seeks opportunity

Luke 22:7-13 - Passover

Jesus earnestly desires
- The Passover was centered around the sacrificial lamb. Jesus is now our sacrificial lamb.
- I Corinthians 5:7; John 1:29
Won’t eat it again until it is fulfilled
The first cup
- This is the drink with the Passover meal (Luke 22:17).
The bread
- My body which is given for you (Luke 22:19)
- My body which is broken for you (I Corinthians 11:24)
  - This led to some controversy about whether Jesus’ body was broken because His legs were not, as prophesied.
The cup of the Lord’s Supper
- “Poured out for you”
- “Covenant in my blood”
- Compare Exodus 24:7-8
  - Sprinkling vs. pouring of the blood.

Jesus speaks of His betrayer
- With mine on the table
- “As it has been determined”
- Woe to that man
  - Judas still did it of his own free choice.
- The apostles discuss
  - Luke 9:46-48 - They discussed this at least once before.
New discussion - dispute
- Luke 22:30 - They would be ranked with the judges of Israel.
- Which of them is greatest?
- Jesus offers alternative view

Jesus goes to Mount of Olives
- Habitually prayed there
- Admonition to disciples
  - Pray not to be led into temptation
- The prayer
