Matthew 26:26-45 NIV

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 26:29

I will not drink henceforth ( ἀπ ' ἀ ì ρτι ) of this fruit ( γεννη ì ματος ) of the vine. He is about to die. From this moment forward he tastes not the cup. It does not follow that he had partaken of the consecrated wine which he gave his apostles. Probability is against his having done so (see on Matthew 26:26 ). He used the same words with the first cup at the commencement of the supper ( Luke 22:18 ). Of this he probably partook, but not of the latter. The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 26:30

When they had sung an hymn. This was probably the second portion of the Hallel. Before this, however, the Lord spake the discourses and the prayer recorded so lovingly and carefully by St. John (John 14-17.). They went out. Which they could not lawfully have done had they been celebrating the usual Jewish Passover (see Exodus 12:22 ). Though it is possible that many modifications of the original ritual had been gradually introduced, yet Christ so strictly observed the Law that he would... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 26:30-35

Jesus announces the desertion of the apostles, and the denial of Peter. ( Mark 14:26-31 ; Luke 22:34 ; John 13:36-38 .) read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 26:31

Then saith Jesus. The warning, according to the other evangelists, was given in the upper chamber, unless, as is very unlikely, it was twice repeated (see Luke 22:31-34 ; John 13:36-38 ). The "then" of St. Matthew must not be taken strictly as denoting exact chronological sequence, but as marking a change of scene or a new incident. All ye shall be offended because of me ( ἐν ἐμοι ì , in me ) . There is an emphasis on "all ye;" even ye eleven, who have been steadfast... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 26:31-35

Strength and weakness. After the admonitory incident of the last Passover, which separated the unhappy Iscariot from the apostleship, Jesus, journeying with the eleven towards the Mount of Olives, proceeded to caution them against the weakness which he discerned in them. He is not our truest friend who conceals from us our faults. I. IN JESUS WE SEE THE ENSHRINEMENT OF DIVINE STRENGTH . 1 . In his all-comprehensive knowledge. 2 . In his all-enduring... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 26:31-46

The Mount of Olives. I. THE CONVERSATION BY THE WAY . 1 . The Lord ' s prediction that all should forsake him. Partly in the upper room, partly on the way, the Lord had uttered those most sacred and precious words which St. John was led by the Holy Spirit to preserve in those chapters which have well been called the holiest of the holy. St. Matthew relates only one thing which passed as they went in the late evening, in the solemn light of the Paschal moon, their hearts,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 26:32

After I am risen again. He comforts his followers now, as always, with the announcement that after his Passion and death he would rise again and meet them. So in the prophet's words succeeding the quotation there is a similar encouragement, "I will turn mine hand upon the little ones;" i.e. I will cover and protect the humble and meek, even after they fled and were scattered. I will go before you ( προα ì ξω ὑμᾶς ) into Galilee ( Matthew 28:7 ). The verb is of pastoral... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 26:33

Peter answered and said unto him . This self-confident answer seems to have been made after he had received the warning recorded by St. Luke ( Luke 22:31 ), "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan asked to have you, that he might sift you as wheat; but I made supplication for thee, that thy faith fail not." He cannot believe that he, the rock man, can be guilty of such defection. Though all [men] shall be offended because of ( ἐν , verse 31) thee . The addition of "men" in the Authorized... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 26:34

Peter's boast elicits a crushing reply from his Lord, foretelling the special sin of which he would be guilty, and the very time of the night when it should be committed. This night, before the cock crow. The word "cock" is without the article, so the meaning may be "before a cock crow;" i.e. probably before midnight. Cocks were unclean birds, and not kept by strict Jews, and their voice was not much heard in Jerusalem; though it is quite different now, where barn door fowls swarm round... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Matthew 26:34

Self-knowledge and Divine knowledge. Jesus knew Peter better than he knew himself. Any observant man would have told wherein lay peril for such an repulsive, hastily outspoken, warm-hearted man. Our Lord divinely "knew what was in man," and foresaw the coming danger. We are all keen enough at estimating the character of others, but we cannot do it with any certainty, because we can only make our experience of ourselves our standard of judgment. And oftentimes those who are most ready to... read more
