This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Luk 22:37. Ἔτι τοῦτο) even yet this last [crowning accomplishment of prophecy], after so many others.-τὸ) Mar 15:28, note.[242]-καὶ, and) This last step presupposes all the others.-τὰ περὶ ἐμοῦ, the things which have been written concerning Me) viz. the things which have been written concerning the Messiah, as about to suffer: comp. ch. Luk 24:27, at the end.-τέλος ἔχει, have their consummation or end) have obtained their consummation. Just before we have τελεσθῆναι, must be accomplished or consummated. The latter, the act (τελεσθῆναι), has reference to men, among whom it is done; the former, the consummation (τέλος), has reference to the matter of fact. See Rom 10:4 [“Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth;” τέλος νόμου].
[242] μετὰ ἀνόμων, more forcible than the LXX. Isa 53:12, ἐν τοῖς ἀνόμοις: “He suffered Himself to be numbered with transgressors,” as if He were one of them, through the imputation of their sins to Him, not merely “among transgressors.”-E. and T.
