FOLLOWING THE ORIGINAL AUTHOR'S INTENT AT THE PARAGRAPH LEVEL

This is a study guide commentary, which means that you are responsible for your own interpretation of the Bible. Each of us must walk in the light we have. You, the Bible, and the Holy Spirit are priority in interpretation. You must not relinquish this to a commentator.

Read the chapter in one sitting. Identify the subjects. Compare your subject divisions with the five translations above. Paragraphing is not inspired, but it is the key to following the original author's intent, which is the heart of interpretation. Every paragraph has one and only one subject.

1. First paragraph

2. Second paragraph

3. Third paragraph

4. Etc.



CONTEXTUAL INSIGHTS

A. 1Co_11:20 ff is the first written account of the Last Supper. It was recorded by Paul. Luke, in many ways, mirrors Paul's presentation.



B. The only account of the dialog during the Lord's Supper is John 13-17, though no reference to the actual meal is included.



C. There are two great textual difficulties related to this chapter, Luk_22:17-20 and Luk_22:43-44. See the notes below.

These discussion questions are provided to help you think through the major issues of this section of the book. They are meant to be thought-provoking, not definitive.

1. What does it mean that Satan entered Judas?

2. Is Judas responsible for his acts since they were predestined?

3. Why did Judas betray Jesus?

4. How is the Lord's Supper related to the Passover meal?

5. Why do the Gospels differ as to the day the Lord's Supper was instituted?

6. Why are the Gospel account of Peter's denial so different?

7. Why did the Sanhedrin reject Jesus' Messiahship?
