Volume 4 : 4th Trailhead – 3rd Trail – 1st Track

We are now on the track of Luke 22:37.

The verse is set in the context of the impending persecution that the disciples would encounter as recorded in Luke 22:35-38.

Luke 22:37 makes a reference to Isaiah 53:12. Jesus of Nazareth said that what was spoken about the Promised Messiah in Isaiah 53:12 would be fulfilled in and by Him.  In Matthew 27:38, Mark 15:27 and Luke 23:32, we read of Jesus being crucified with two criminals.

Therefore, the focus of Luke 22:37 is:

“The Promised Messiah was crucified with criminals”.
