L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:1-75

Only when His prophetic word, with its every dispensational bearing, is complete does the King, in calm, conscious authority, declare to His disciples that the time has arrived for His being betrayed to be crucified, and on the day of the Passover. The chief priests, scribes and elders assemble together in the high priest's palace, plotting His death, but with other plans than what the Lord has declared. Having no sense of honour, they plot to take Him by subtlety, but not on the pass over... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:1-75

BETRAYAL AND ARREST As to the first point (Matthew 26:1-5 ), note that Christ predicts His death for the fourth time, adding the manner of it, and the time it would take place. What a calm walking up into death it was! But see how Satan, through the human conspirators, would hinder, if he could, the offering of the sacrifice at the appointed time (Matthew 26:5 )! As to the second point (Matthew 26:6-13 ), we learn from John 12:1-8 , that the woman was Mary, the sister of Lazarus, leading to... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Matthew 26:1-5

Chapter 86 Prayer Almighty God, we know thee by our love: our hearts go out after thee in a great search, and come back with all thy grace glowing the soul and making the life new. We do not know thee by the mind, we cannot lay hold of thee by the senses, thou dost come secretly into the heart and speak to our meekness and love and modesty and waiting patience. Thou hast revealed thyself unto us in Jesus Christ, Son of man, Son of God, to us God the Son, bringing every secret of thy love to... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Matthew 26:1

CONTENTS We here enter upon the concluding scenes of Christ's life. The Rulers conspire against Jesus. He celebrates his Passover. Judas betrayeth him; Peter denieth him; and all the disciples forsake him and flee. read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Matthew 26:1-2

"And it came to pass, when Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said unto his disciples, (2) Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified." I beg the Reader to attend very minutely, to the circumstances with which Matthew, the first Evangelist, in point of order, introduceth the subject of our Lord's sufferings. He saith, When Jesus had finished all these sayings. Perhaps he alluded to the finishing of his office in teaching. For... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Matthew 26:3-5

"Then assembled together the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders of the people, unto the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas, (4) And consulted that they might take Jesus by subtlety, and kill him. (5) But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar among the people." From what hath been observed before, in the introduction of this subject, in holding forth Christ, as the representative of his Church and people, we shall now enter upon it with a clearer... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:2

You know that after two days shall be the Pasch; [1] or the feast of the Pasch. The Protestants translate, of the Passover. The French all retain the same word in their language, Paque; as the author of the Latin Vulgate and all other Greek versions have done. It is indeed an evident mistake, (as St. Augustine observed) to take Pascha for a Greek word, as Mr. N... has done, who in his note on this place says, Pascha, in Greek, is a passion or suffering. It is certain that the word Pascha,... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:1-5

1-5 Our Lord had often told of his sufferings as at a distance, now he speaks of them as at hand. At the same time the Jewish council consulted how they might put him to death secretly. But it pleased God to defeat their intention. Jesus, the true paschal Lamb, was to be sacrificed for us at that very time, and his death and resurrection rendered public. read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Matthew 26:1-99

Matthew 26 THIS CHAPTER BRINGS US back to the history of the last few days of the Lord’s life on earth. The opening verses give us a peep into the palace of the high priest, and we find it to be full of craft and counsels of murder. In verses Matthew 26.6-26.13 , we turn from this most atrocious wickedness in high places to behold an action of love and devotion in a humble home, where some of the godly remnant dwelt. From John 12.0 we gather that the woman was Mary of Bethany. She evidently... read more
