Read Luke 22.1-6. In 22.1-23.56: (Mk 14-15; Mt26-27): The tragic death of Jesus. In 22.1-2: These verses provide a transition into Luke's dramatic narrative of Jesus' betrayal, trial, death, and resurrection. Unleavened Bread recalls the flight from Egypt, setting faithful Israelites apart (Ex 12.1-20). Luke alerts the reader to observe the differing roles played out in the story of struggle and death that follows. Those who were looking for a way to put Jesus to death also were afraid of the people. How did various disciples behave? What roles did the rulers play? And finally, how was God's will accomplished? (see the interpretation of these events in the sermons in Acts (2.22-36; 4.24-28; 1036-41; 13.27-31). In verses 3-6: Satan (see 10.18) or "the devil" (4.1-13) finds an active conspirator in Judas (he went away ... conferred, ... consented and began to look for an opportunity), one of the twelve (6.13; 22.29-20).
