Luke 22:15
Previous Verse
Luke 22:15
Next Verse

And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:

Note 1 at Lu 22:15: Our Lord's repetition of the word "desire" was, no doubt, to emphasize His longing to share this Passover meal with His disciples. He was less than twenty-four hours away from fulfilling His mission, and as anyone who can see the finish line, Jesus must have had feelings of relief and excitement.

Jesus also took this opportunity to intimately communicate to His disciples many of His most profound truths (Joh 14-17), and this also must have been part of this desire that He spoke of. He used this Passover meal to illustrate, in a very graphic way, His purpose for becoming a man.

Note 2 at Lu 22:15: Some people have argued that this was not the Passover meal, because it was not the fourteenth but the thirteenth day of the first month (i.e., Abib, or Nisan [Ex 12:18, 13:4; and Es 3:7]). However, this scripture, along with Lu 22:13, makes it very clear that Jesus did eat the Passover meal with His disciples. He simply partook of the Passover one day early because at the time the actual Passover meal was eaten, Jesus had become our Passover Lamb (1Co 5:7).
