Matthew 26:14-46 NIV

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:22

They were exceeding sorrowful - That is, the eleven who were innocent; and the hypocritical traitor, Judas, endeavored to put on the appearance of sorrow. Strange! Did he not know that Christ knew the secrets of his soul! Or had his love of money so far blinded him, as to render him incapable of discerning even this, with which he had been before so well acquainted? read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:23

He that dippeth his hand - As the Jews ate the passover a whole family together, it was not convenient for them all to dip their bread in the same dish; they therefore had several little dishes or plates, in which was the juice of the bitter herbs, mentioned Exodus 12:8 , on different parts of the table; and those who were nigh one of these, dipped their bread in it. As Judas is represented as dipping in the same dish with Christ, it shows that he was either near or opposite to him. If... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:24

The Son of man goeth - That is, is about to die. Going, going away, departing, etc., are frequently used in the best Greek and Latin writers, for death, or dying. The same words are often used in the Scriptures in the same sense. It had been good for that man - Can this be said of any sinner, in the common sense in which it is understood, if there be any redemption from hell's torments? If a sinner should suffer millions of millions of years in them, and get out at last to the enjoyment... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:25

Judas - said, Master, is it I? - What excessive impudence! He knew, in his conscience, that he had already betrayed his Master, and was waiting now for the servants of the chief priests, that he might deliver him into their hands; and yet he says, (hoping that he had transacted his business so privately that it had not yet transpired), Master, is it I? It is worthy of remark, that each of the other disciples said κυριε , Lord, is it I? But Judas dares not, or will not, use this august... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:26

As they were eating - Either an ordinary supper, or the paschal lamb, as some think. See the observations at the end of this chapter. Jesus took bread - Of what kind? Unleavened bread, certainly, because there was no other kind to be had in all Judea at this time; for this was the first day of unleavened bread, ( Matthew 26:17 ;), i.e. the 14th of the month Nisan, when the Jews, according to the command of God, ( Exodus 12:15-20 ; Exodus 23:15 ; Exodus 34:25 ;), were to purge... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:27

And he took the cup - Μετα το δειπνησαι , after having supped, Luke 22:20 , and 1 Corinthians 11:25 . Whether the supper was on the paschal lamb, or whether it was a common or ordinary meal, I shall not wait here to inquire: see at the end of this chapter. In the parallel place, in Luke 22, we find our Lord taking the cup, Luke 22:17 , and again Luke 22:19 ; by the former of which was probably meant the cup of blessing, הברכה כוס kos haberakah , which the master of a family... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:28

For this is my blood of the New Testament - This is the reading both here and in St. Mark; but St. Luke and St. Paul say, This cup is the New Testament in my blood. This passage has been strangely mistaken: by New Testament, many understand nothing more than the book commonly known by this name, containing the four Gospels, Acts of the Apostles, apostolical Epistles, and book of the Revelation; and they think that the cup of the New Testament means no more than merely that cup which the book... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:29

I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine - These words seem to intimate no more than this: We shall not have another opportunity of eating this bread and drinking this wine together; as in a few hours my crucifixion shall take place. Until that day when I drink it new with you - That is, I shall no more drink of the produce of the vine with you; but shall drink new wine - wine of a widely different nature from this - a wine which the kingdom of God alone can afford. The term... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:30

And when they had sung a hymn - Υμνησαντες means, probably, no more than a kind of recitative reading or chanting. As to the hymn itself, we know, from the universal consent of Jewish antiquity, that it was composed of Psalm 113:1-9 , Psalm 114:1-8 , 115, 116, Psalm 117:1-2 , and 118, termed by the Jews הלל halel , from הללו־יה halelu - yah , the first word in Psalm 113:1-9 . These six Psalms were always sung at every paschal solemnity. They sung this great hillel on... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:31

All ye shall be offended - Or rather, Ye will all be stumbled - παντες υμεις σκανδαλισθησεσθε - ye will all forsake me, and lose in a great measure your confidence in me. This night - The time of trial is just at hand. I will smite the shepherd - It will happen to you as to a flock of sheep, whose shepherd has been slain - the leader and guardian being removed, the whole flock shall be scattered, and be on the point of becoming a prey to ravenous beasts. read more
