Luke 20:41

Key Reflection

In the setting of the Last Supper, described in Luke 20:41, the disciples were present as Jesus prepared to confront Judas's betrayal and face his crucifixion. The original audience would have understood that these questions might reveal their doubts about Jesus’s upcoming fate, so they hesitated out of fear and respect for His divine authority and the gravity of the moment. This reluctance to question further highlights the tension and solemnity of the occasion.
