George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:23

He that dippeth. He that is associated to me, that eateth bread with me, shall life up his heel against me, according to the prophecy of the psalmist, cited by St. John, xiii. 18. --- Jesus Christ doe not here manifest the traitor; he only aggravates the enormity and malice of the crime. read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:17-25

17-25 Observe, the place for their eating the passover was pointed out by Christ to the disciples. He knows those hidden ones who favour his cause, and will graciously visit all who are willing to receive him. The disciples did as Jesus had appointed. Those who would have Christ's presence in the gospel passover, must do what he says. It well becomes the disciples of Christ always to be jealous over themselves, especially in trying times. We know not how strongly we may be tempted, nor how far... read more

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 26:20-25

The Passover Meal and the Institution of the Lord's Supper. The traitor in their midst: v. 20. Now when the even was come, He sat down with the Twelve. v. 21. And as they did eat, He said, Verily I say unto you that one of you shall betray Me. v. 22. And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto Him, Lord, is it I? v. 23. And He answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with Me in the dish, the same shall betray Me. v. 24. The Son of Man goeth as it is... read more

THIRD SECTIONCHRIST THE PASCHAL LAMB, AND THE LORD’S SUPPER26:17–30(Mark 14:12-26; Luke 22:7-39; John 13:1 to John 18:1)17Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where will thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover? 18And he said, Go into the city to such a man [to a certain man, πρὸς τὸν δεῖνα], and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples. 19And the disciples did... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 26:14-25

a False Friend Exposed Matthew 26:14-25 While Mary sacrificed a large sum of money to show her love to Jesus, Judas sold Him for the hire of a slave. See Zechariah 11:12 . The Lord had a great desire to eat this last meal with His own; and it was a proof of His loving anticipation of the strain to which they were to be exposed in soul and body, that He had made arrangements for it with some secret disciple. How glad this loving soul must have been to make the loan of that guest chamber!-but... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 26:1-75

The Lord now reverted to the theme of His coming suffering, telling the disciples with great definiteness of the time-"after two days"; and of the event-"The Son of Man is delivered up to be crucified." Meanwhile the priests and elders were assembled in secret conclave, plotting how they might secure Him in order to silence His voice by putting Him to death. Whether the story of the alabaster cruse was in chronological order is of little moment. It is a revelation of perhaps the most wonderful... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:1-28

Through Suffering to Triumph (26:1-28). Matthew’s description of what follows in the next few days is very much abbreviated compared with Mark’s and Luke’s. While seemingly following Mark or his source in general, much of the time he abbreviates, while at the same time continually introducing new items of information, and his differences in grammar are against the idea that he simply copies Mark and occasionally changes his wording. If he is using Mark he is appropriating it and adapting it so... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:20-25

Jesus Reveals That He Is About To Be Betrayed (26:20-25). In accordance with his usual method Matthew gives an abbreviated account of that Passover meal at which they ‘eat the Passover’, concentrating only on what he sees as essential for the picture that he wants to build up. It is a picture of Jesus’ triumph and compassion in the face of the failure of those whom He loved. Unlike the other Gospels, apart from the institution of the Lord’s Supper, it gives no specific teaching. Matthew is... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:20-35

The Final Passover And The Declaration Of The New Covenant (26:20-35). This second subsection is carefully patterned around the Passover meal. It commences with a warning of Jesus’ coming betrayal, describes the Passover and the establishing of the Lord’s Supper, and concludes with a warning of the coming desertion of His disciples and of Peter’s coming threefold denial. Thus the institution of the Lord’s Supper, revealing the Lord’s future provision for His own, is placed within a framework... read more
