What does Luke 22:21-23 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Luke placed Jesus" announcement of His betrayal after the institution of the Lord"s Supper whereas Matthew and Mark located it before that event in their Gospels. The effect of Luke"s placement is that the betrayal appears as especially heinous in view of Jesus" self-sacrifice for His disciples. The connecting link is the reference to Jesus" death.
