Luke 22:39-46

The Passover Betrayal, the New Covenant Meal, and the Suffering Servant King

The leaders plot, Judas betrays, Jesus prepares and interprets the Passover as the new covenant in his blood, teaches servant greatness, warns and prays for Peter, submits to the Father in agony, is betrayed and arrested, is denied by Peter, is mocked by men, and confesses before the council that he is the Son of Man and Son of God.

39Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed Him.

40When He came to the place, He told them, “Pray that you will not enter into temptation.”

41And He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, where He knelt down and prayed,

42“Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done.”

43Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him and strengthened Him.

44And in His anguish, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.

45When Jesus rose from prayer and returned to the disciples, He found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow.

46“Why are you sleeping?” He asked. “Get up and pray so that you will not enter into temptation.”
