Luke continued to imply Jesus' authority in his account of the events that these verses introduce. The hour in view is the hour at which Jesus had determined to eat the Passover meal with His disciples. Luke probably called the Twelve "apostles"here because what took place in the upper room was foundational for the church, and the apostles were its leaders (Eph. 2:20).
