• LESSON 23 (June 12) • Luke 22 • On the Eve of the Crucifixion 1. “Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread drew near, which is called the Passover” (22:1). What does this detail add to the overall setting of what Luke is about to record in his “orderly account”? 2. Luke 22:3-6 is a terrifying and heartbreaking paragraph. How would you describe in your own words what Luke has conveyed? 3. How does Luke 22:7-13 serve as one more indicator of the true identity of Jesus? 4. Do Jesus’ words and actions in Luke 22:14-23 have any significance for modern disciples? If so, what is that significance? Why do these words and actions still matter? 5.What does Luke 22:24-27 reveal about the apostles? Based on the gospel account of John (13:1-17), how was Jesus practically demonstrating that he was among them “as the one who serves”? 6.Luke 22:28-30 contains a truly profound promise. What is Jesus promising? What is the connection of the promise made that evening to us today? 7. “For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in me: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors’” (22:37). What is Jesus foretelling? 8.“Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done” (22:42). What can we learn from Jesus’ prayer? 9.“But this is your hour, and the power of darkness” (22:53). What does Jesus mean by this statement? 10. As you carefully read the details of Luke’s “orderly account” in Luke 22, what stands out to you? What do we learn about Jesus? Satan? The apostles? Even ourselves?
