14 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him.
14 When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table.
14 And when the hour came, he reclined at table, and the apostles with him.
14 When it was time, he sat down, all the apostles with him,
14 When the hour had come, He sat down, and the twelve apostles with Him.
14 When the time came, Jesus and the apostles sat down together at the table.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Luke 22:14
Commentary on Luke 22:7-18
(Read Luke 22:7-18)
Christ kept the ordinances of the law, particularly that of the passover, to teach us to observe his gospel institutions, and most of all that of the Lord's supper. Those who go upon Christ's word, need not fear disappointment. According to the orders given them, the disciples got all ready for the passover. Jesus bids this passover welcome. He desired it, though he knew his sufferings would follow, because it was in order to his Father's glory and man's redemption. He takes his leave of all passovers, signifying thereby his doing away all the ordinances of the ceremonial law, of which the passover was one of the earliest and chief. That type was laid aside, because now in the kingdom of God the substance was come.
