Luke 22

Clinging to a Counterfeit Cross
Introduction

1  The Jews conspire against Christ.
3  Satan prepares Judas to betray him.
7  The apostles prepare the passover.
19  Christ institutes his holy supper;
21  covertly foretells of the traitor;
24  rebukes the rest of his apostles from ambition;
31  assures Peter his faith should not fail;
34  and yet he should deny him thrice.
39  He prays in the mount, and sweats blood;
47  is betrayed with a kiss;
50  he heals Malchus' ear;
54  he is thrice denied of Peter;
63  shamefully abused;
66  and confesses himself to be the Son of God.

But [heteros] as Wetstein shows, may be, and is in innumerable instances applied to a female; and Matthew says, "she said to them that were there," and Mark, "she began to say to them that stood by." So that the maid gave the information to those around her, and some man charged Peter with it.
