Notes

Luke 22:11–12

The text does not say whether Jesus knew about the room because of his divine nature or if he had made arrangements for this room ahead of time (see also 19:30–34).

Luke 22:7–30

Jesus celebrated the traditional Jewish Passover but transformed it with reference to his own sacrificial death as the Passover lamb. He also prepared his disciples for his coming death and the leadership role they would assume over his church.
