How preachers through history handled this text
48 public-domain excerpts on Luke 22, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“How unbecoming is the worldly ambition of being the greatest, to the character of a follower of Jesus, who took upon him the form of a servant, and humbled himself to the death of the cross! In the way to eternal happiness, we must expect to be assaulted and sifted by Satan. If he cannot destroy, he will try to disgrace or distress us. Nothing more certainly forebodes a fall, in a professed follower of Christ, than self-confidence, with disregard to warnings, and contempt of danger. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Luke 22:21–38 (Public Domain)
