LUKE 22:15 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:”
And he said to them, I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer — I have eagerly desired (epithymia epethumēsa, with desire I have desired): the Hebraic intensification. This Passover with you before I suffer: the specific Passover as the occasion for the passion. The suffering is anticipated and accepted — this is the appointed Passover.
Church Fathers on Luke 22:15
As soon as the disciples had prepared the Passover, they proceed to eat it; as it is said, And when the hour was come, &c.
By the hour of eating the Passover, He signifies the fourteenth day of the first month, far gone towards evening, the fifteenth moon just appearing on the earth.
But how is our Lord said to sit down, whereas the Jews eat the Passover standing? They say, that when they had eaten the legal Passover, they sat down according to the common custom, to eat their other food.
