Luke 20:19-26

And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.

As if He said, With your words ye tempt me, obey me in works. Ye have indeed Cæsar's image, ye have undertaken his offices, to him therefore give tribute, to God fear. For God requireth not money, but faith.
Luke 21:5-8

And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, he said,

Or perhaps He docs not speak of false Christs coming before the end of the world, but of those who existed in the Apostles' time.
Luke 21:28-33

And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

Or else, He says, the kingdom of God is at hand, meaning that when these things shall be, not yet shall all things come to their last end, but they shall be already tending towards it. For the very coming of our Lord itself, casting out every principality and power, is the preparation for the kingdom of God.
Luke 21:34-36

And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

As if He says, Beware lest the eyes of your mind wax heavy. For the cares of this life, and surfeiting, and drunkenness, scare away prudence, shatter and make shipwreck of faith.
Luke 22:3-6

Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.

Satan entered into Judas not by force, but finding the door open. For forgetful of all that he had seen, Judas now turned his thoughts solely to covetousness.

And he adds, one of the twelve, since he made up the number, though he did not truly discharge the Apostolic office. Or the Evangelist adds this, as it were for contrast sake. As if he said, "He was of the first band of those who were especially chosen."
Luke 22:7-13

Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed.

Our Lord, in order to leave us a heavenly Passover, ate a typical one, removing the figure, that the truth might take its place.
