Expositor's Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:1-75

Chapter 19The Great Atonement Day - Matthew 26:1-75 - Matthew 27:1-56WE enter now on the story of the last day of the mortal life of our Lord and Saviour. We have already noticed the large proportionate space given to the Passion Week; but still more remarkable is the concentration of interest on the Passion Day. The record of that single day is very nearly one-ninth of the whole book; and a similar proportion is observed by all the four Evangelists. This proportion of space is very striking... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:1-75

Only when His prophetic word, with its every dispensational bearing, is complete does the King, in calm, conscious authority, declare to His disciples that the time has arrived for His being betrayed to be crucified, and on the day of the Passover. The chief priests, scribes and elders assemble together in the high priest's palace, plotting His death, but with other plans than what the Lord has declared. Having no sense of honour, they plot to take Him by subtlety, but not on the pass over... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:1-75

BETRAYAL AND ARREST As to the first point (Matthew 26:1-5 ), note that Christ predicts His death for the fourth time, adding the manner of it, and the time it would take place. What a calm walking up into death it was! But see how Satan, through the human conspirators, would hinder, if he could, the offering of the sacrifice at the appointed time (Matthew 26:5 )! As to the second point (Matthew 26:6-13 ), we learn from John 12:1-8 , that the woman was Mary, the sister of Lazarus, leading to... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Matthew 26:14-30

Chapter 88 Prayer Almighty God, thou art always leading us onward to Gethsemane, happy we if thou wilt enable us to sing a hymn here and there on the road. This is thy purpose that we should take our sorrows as the beginning of our joys, and should look onward beyond the place of the shadow into the place of the shining of the eternal light. Our eye will sorrowfully rest upon the gloom, it will not lift itself hopefully and look onward to the light, and herein have we great and needless... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Matthew 26:14-30

"Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, (15) And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver. (16) And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him. (17) Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover? (18) And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:14

The chief priests were then assembled; Judas, the disciple, who chiefly regretted the expense of the perfumes that had been used on his Lord and Master, at the feast of Bethania, and wished for an opportunity to make good the loss, when to the chief priests, saying: read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:14-16

14-16 There were but twelve called apostles, and one of them was like a devil; surely we must never expect any society to be quite pure on this side heaven. The greater profession men make of religion, the greater opportunity they have of doing mischief, if their hearts be not right with God. Observe, that Christ's own disciple, who knew so well his doctrine and manner of his life, and was false to him, could not charge him with any thing criminal, though it would have served to justify his... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Matthew 26:1-99

Matthew 26 THIS CHAPTER BRINGS US back to the history of the last few days of the Lord’s life on earth. The opening verses give us a peep into the palace of the high priest, and we find it to be full of craft and counsels of murder. In verses Matthew 26.6-26.13 , we turn from this most atrocious wickedness in high places to behold an action of love and devotion in a humble home, where some of the godly remnant dwelt. From John 12.0 we gather that the woman was Mary of Bethany. She evidently... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Matthew 26:14-16

Judas offers to betray Christ: v. 14. Then one of the Twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, v. 15. and said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver Him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver. v. 16. And from that time he sought opportunity to betray Him. There is a world of significance in the expression "one of the Twelve. " One of those whom Jesus chose out of the larger circle of His disciples; one of those whom He had with... read more
