The events of Luke, chapter 22, introduce of the many emotions of Jesus last night with the disciples prior to His crucifixion. He sent some ahead to confirm the prepared upper room. Jesus shared a passover meal and instituted the Lord's Supper with the disciples. He foretold of Judas' betrayal and Peter's denial. They departed for a time of prayer as Jesus went a stones throw away at Gethsemane. He prayed "not My will but Thy Will." Then we have the betrayal, arrest, trial, and then a moment that had been brewing three years...they asked who Jesus said He was...Jesus said..."You are right in saying so" in response to the question..."are you the Son of God?" They replied "what other testimony is needed."
Chapter 22 of Luke is second longest in the Gospel. Only chapter one is longer. Is there a more event filled chapter in Luke's Gospel? We will take a look in the next two days at chapters 23 and 24.
