Commentary on Luke 22:21

Theological / Devotional

The hand. [The Betrayer Revealed, Luke 22:21-23=Matt. 26:21-25=Mark 14:18-21=John 13:21-30. Major comment: Matthew and John.] Luke relates the narrative of the Lord’s Supper before that of Judas as the betrayer, whereas Matthew and Mark reverse this order. Luke’s account is in chronological order (see on Matt. 26:21).

Him that betrayeth. Literally, “who is betraying.” Judas had already met with the Jewish leaders and had agreed to betray Jesus to them (see on Matt. 26:14, 15). The betrayal was already in progress.

With me on the table. The hands of all the disciples were probably “on the table,” so to speak. This statement did not identify Judas as the betrayer, but simply affirmed that the betrayer was one of those reclining about the table.
