26:17-19 – Now the Lord Jesus will go with His own into the Upper Room, and there He will make the announcement that one will betray Him.
26:20-22 – Every one of those men knew that he has it within his heart to betray Christ. Have you discovered that in your own heart and life? My brothers and sisters, you and I are just that low. That ought to keep us close to Him.
26:23-25 – It is interesting to note that Judas did not call Him Lord as the other disciples did (see v. 22). At this juncture Judas left the room, according to John’s record: “He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night” (John 13:30).
26:26-28 – Here we see the Lord instituting the Lord’s Supper over the dying ashes of a fading feast, the Passover. The cup circulated seven times during the Passover. It was evidently at the last time that Jesus instituted the Lord’s Supper.
26:29 – The Passover will be reinstitute in the Millennium. The Lord said that He would drink the fruit of the vine again in the kingdom. This means that apparently the Passover during that time will look back to His death on the cross. The Passover, which had looked forward for centuries to His coming, will also during the Millennium look back to His coming.
