19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the passover. Ver. 19. Did as Jesus had appointed them ] With a kind of blind obedience; such as we must yield to God, notwithstanding all unlikelihoods or scruples whatsoever, cast in by carnal reason. This the Scripture calls the "obedience of faith," and commends it to us, in the examples of Abraham, Moses, others, Hebrews 11:1-40 . read more
20 Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve. Ver. 20. He sat down with the twelve ] With Judas among the rest; though Hilary hold otherwise, for what reason I know not. Christ sat at the sacrament, when yet the gesture imported in the law was standing; and this sitting at the Passover was nowhere commanded, yet by the godly Jews was generally used. Let this "heap of wheat" (the Lord’s supper, as some interpret it) be "set about with lilies," Song of Solomon 7:2 , that is, with... read more
21 And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. Ver. 21. And as they did eat, he said ] With a great deal of detestation of so horrid a fact; to see the frontless traitor bear himself so bold among them, having now hatched so prodigious a villany. One of you shall betray me ] But shall any therefore condemn the whole twelve, as if there were never a better? This were to "offend against the generation of the righteous,"Psalms 73:15; Psalms 73:15 . This... read more
22 And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I? Ver. 22. And they were exceeding sorrowful ] Not joyful (as some would have been) to find out other men’s faults, and to exagitate them. Not only those that make, but that love lies, yea, or unseasonable truths in this kind, are shut out of heaven among dogs and devils,Revelation 22:15; Revelation 22:15 . Lord, is it I? ] He puts them all to a search, before the sacrament. Let "a man therefore... read more
23 And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. Ver. 23. He that dippeth his hand, &c. ] My fellow commoner, my familiar friend, Psalms 41:9 . 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. Julius Caesar was slain in the Senate house by more of his friends than of his enemies, quorum non expleverat spes... read more
24 The Son of man goeth as it is written of him: but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born. Ver. 24. The Son of man goeth ] That is, dieth, suffereth. Death was to him but an εξοδος , exodus as it is called, Luke 9:31 ; that is, an out going, or a departure. It was no more between God and Moses, but "Go up and die," as it was said to another prophet, "Up and eat." He that hath conversed with God here, cannot fear to go to... read more
25 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said. Ver. 25. Master, is it I? ] Desperate impudency! debauched hypocrisy! Had he the face to ask such a question? He could not but know that Christ knew all; yet hoped he, perhaps, that of his wonted gentleness, he would conceal him still, as he had done for certain days before. But incorrigible and incurable persons are no longer to be borne with. He heareth, therefore, "Thou hast said it,"... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Matthew 26:18
18 And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the passover at thy house with my disciples. Ver. 18. Go into the city to such a man ] Meaning some man of his special acquaintance, for so the Greek ( ο δεινα ) imports, though he named him not. So Palmoni hammedabber, " such an one the speaker," Daniel 8:13 . read more
