A Chiasm in Luke 22 on Yeshua's Betrayal and Prayer

 


Luke 22:31-62 looks like it could be a chiasm centered on the angel encouraging Yeshua in the Garden and bracketed by Peter's betrayal.


- A - V31-34 – Yeshua predicted Peter's betrayal

--- B - V35-38 – Moneybag, knapsack, sword, and cloak. Scripture must be fulfilled

----- C - V40 – Yeshua told his disciples to pray to avoid temptation.

------- D - V41 – Yeshua went away to pray

--------- E - V42 – Yeshua prayed

----------- F - V43 – An angel appeared to strengthen him

--------- E - V44 – Yeshua prayed

------- D - V45 – Yeshua returned from praying

----- C - V46 – Yeshua told his disciples to rise and pray to avoid temptation

--- B - V47-53 – Yeshua betrayed by Judas (treasurer in a cloak). Sword and the priest's servant's ear.

- A - V54-62 – Yeshua betrayed by Peter
