Lukas 22:21

21 Nevertheless, hinei, the hand of the one betraying me is with me on the tish (table) [TEHILLIM 41:9]

Lukas 22:21 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 22:21

But behold the hand of him that betrayeth me
By the "hand" is meant, not figuratively the counsel, contrivance, and conspiracy of Judas to betray him, as the word is used in ( 2 Samuel 14:19 ) but literally the hand of Judas, which was then dipping in the dish with Christ, ( Matthew 26:23 ) and it follows here, is with me on the table;
and is an aggravation of his sin, that one that sat with him at his table, ate bread with him, and dipped his morsel in the same dish, should be the betrayer of him, according to the prophecy in ( Psalms 41:9 ) as well as describes and points at the person that should do this action, even one of his disciples; for which disciples, he had just now said, his body is given, and his blood is shed. The phrase, "with me", is left out in the Syriac and Persic versions. From Luke's account it appears most clearly, that Judas was not only at the passover, but at the Lord's supper, since this was said when both were over.

Lukas 22:21 In-Context

19 And having taken the Afikoman and having made the hamotzi, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach broke the matzah and gave it to them, saying, This is my BASAR (SHEMOT 12:8) being given for you: this do in zikaron (remembrance) of me. [Lv 5:7; 6:23; Ezek 43:21; Isa 53:8]

20 And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach took the kos (cup) similarly after they ate, saying, This kos (cup) is HaBrit HaChadasha in my dahm, being shed for you. [Ex 24:8; Isa 42:6; Jer 31:31-34; Zech 9:11; 53:10-12]

21 Nevertheless, hinei, the hand of the one betraying me is with me on the tish (table) [TEHILLIM 41:9]

22 Because the Ben HaAdam (Moshiach, DANIEL 7:13-14) indeed goes according to the thing having been determined: but oy to that man through whom he is betrayed.

23 And they began to discuss among themselves who then it might be among them that would do this.
