Luke Study Notes—Chapter 22

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 22:30
  
  eat and drink at my table: To eat a meal with someone signified friendship and peace between those involved. Therefore, one who was privileged to eat regularly at the table of a king was especially favored and enjoyed a very close bond with the monarch. (1Ki 2:7) This is the kind of relationship that Jesus here promised his faithful disciples.—Lu 22:28-30; see also Lu 13:29; Re 19:9.
