Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 26:20-25

Matthew 26:20-25. And when the even was come At the proper hour; he sat down with the twelve To taste first, according to the custom of those days, the unleavened bread and the bitter herbs, before the lamb was served up.

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:20-25

141. A traitor among them (Matthew 26:20-25; Mark 14:17-21; Luke 22:21-23; John 13:21-35)The apostles were surprised when Jesus announced that one of them would betray him, for they did not suspect treachery among them. Perhaps they thought that one of them might unintentionally betray him through speaking carelessly. But Judas knew what Jesus meant (Matthew 26:20-22; John 13:21-25). When Jesus took a piece of bread, dipped it in the dish and gave it to Judas, he was giving Judas a special... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 26:25

And Judas who betrayed him answered and said, Is it I, Rabbi? He saith unto him, Thou hast said.The expression "thou hast said" was a well-understood affirmative in the idiom of the Jews. The die was then cast. Judas' treason was known to all, and he would move at once to effect Jesus' delivery to the chief priests. To make certain that the identification was complete, Christ announced that to whomsoever he should give the sop, the same it was who should betray him. He then gave the sop to... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 26:25

Matthew 26:25. Thou hast said— This expression is equivalent to a positive assertion, both in sacred and prophane authors. Compare Matthew 26:64. The first time our Lord discovered that he should be betrayed, he only told it in John's ear, that Judas was to be the author of that atrocious villany. John told it to Peter; but the rest knew nothing of it. Now Jesus plainly points him out. read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 26:25

Judas’ hypocritical question, which Matthew only among the evangelists recorded, stresses again the awfulness of Judas’ action in betraying Jesus. Probably Judas felt pressure to repeat the question the other disciples had asked or give himself away. "Rabbi" was a respectful title. The other disciples had called Jesus "Lord" (Matthew 26:22). Perhaps the different title indicated that Judas viewed Jesus differently from the other disciples. [Note: Lenski, p. 1019.] Jesus’ reply was sufficiently... read more
