Commentary
Luke 22 is a chapter that focuses on the events leading up to Jesus' crucifixion. It begins with Jesus gathering his disciples together to celebrate the Passover meal. During the meal, Jesus institutes the Lord's Supper, a ritual that would become a cornerstone of Christian worship. Jesus then predicts that one of his disciples will betray him, and Judas Iscariot leaves the room to carry out his plan.
