Matthew 26:20-Lamentations : . Jesus Reveals the Treachery of Judas ( Mark 14:17-Ecclesiastes : *, Luke 22:14 ff., Luke 22:21 ff.). Matthew 26:25, which ( cf. John 13:26) makes Jesus fix the guilt on Judas, is peculiar to Mt. The phrase “ thou hast said” is found again in Matthew 6:4 and Matthew 27:11. In Matthew 26:23 note “ he that dipped” instead of Mk.’ s “ dippeth.” read more
Mark hath the same, Mark 14:17-21; And in the evening he cometh with the twelve. And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, one of you which eateth with me shall betray me. And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish. The Son of man indeed goeth as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! Good were it for that man if... read more
CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 26:15. Covenanted with him.—Weighed unto him (R.V.). After the old custom. There had been in the land a coined shekel since the time of Simeon, 143 B.C.; but weighing seems to have still been customary in the temple treasury (Meyer). Or “weighed” may be simply equivalent to “paid.” Thirty pieces of silver.—I.e. thirty silver shekels. G. C. Williamson, D.Lit., in “The Money of the Bible,” says, “In the time of our Lord there were no shekels current (save, perhaps, a few of... read more
Now it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings ( Matthew 26:1 ),This is the end of now the Olivet discourse.He now said to his disciples, Now you know that in two days is the feast of the Passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified ( Matthew 26:1-2 ).Now this is interesting, because this apparently was on Monday, that Jesus gave the Olivet discourse. He had made His triumphant entry on Sunday, which is known as Palm Sunday, and then the next day He came back into... read more
Matthew 26:2 . After two day is the passover. This is the literal import of the Greek word πασχα pascha, and the Hebrew word פסח pesach, because the Israelites, after eating the paschal lamb, passed over the Red sea. The jews had a tradition, probably from the prophets, that they should be delivered at the passover, which tradition is still in the Cabalists. And it is very remarkable, that Christ should redeem the world at the very festival when he redeemed the Hebrews from Egypt. He is... read more
Matthew 26:20-25And as they did eat, He said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray Me. Self-distrustEvery man is a mystery to himself. In every soul there lie, coiled and dormant, like hybernating snakes, evils that a very slight rise in the temperature will wake up into poisonous activity. Let no man say, in foolish self-confidence, that any form of sin which his brother has ever committed, is impossible for him. Temperament shields us from much, no doubt. There are sins that we... read more

This greatly aggravateth the indignity of the matter. He was ex societate Iesu from the company of Jesus that betrayed him. So do the pretended Jesuits, Jebusites, to this day.

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:23
‘And he answered and said, “He who dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same will betray me.” ’ In the place where normally mention would be made of Israel’s betrayal by Egypt Jesus then replied that the one who would betray Him would be one of those who was dipping his hand in the dish with Him. This dish probably referred to the dishes of bitter herbs dipped in salted water which in typical Jewish fashion were shared. All would be dipping in it together. But it was a poignant reminder to... read more
