Matthew 26:14-30 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Matthew 26:14-16

Immediately after an instance of the greatness kindness done to Christ, follows an instance of the greatest unkindness; such mixture is there of good and bad among the followers of Christ; he hath some faithful friends, and some false and feigned ones. What could be more base than this agreement which Judas here made with the chief priests, to betray Christ to them? I. The traitor was Judas Iscariot; he is said to be one of the twelve, as an aggravation of his villany. When the number of the... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Matthew 26:17-25

We have here an account of Christ's keeping the passover. Being made under the law, he submitted to all the ordinances of it, and to this among the rest; it was kept in remembrance of Israel's deliverance out of Egypt, the birth-day of that people; it was a tradition of the Jews, that in the days of the Messiah they should be redeemed on the very day of their coming out of Egypt; and it was exactly fulfilled, for Christ died the day after the passover, in which day they began their march. I.... read more

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Matthew 26:26-30

We have here the institution of the great gospel ordinance of the Lord's supper, which was received of the Lord. Observe, I. The time when it was instituted?as they were eating. At the latter end of the passover-supper, before the table was drawn, because, as a feast upon a sacrifice, it was to come in the room of that ordinance. Christ is to us the Passover-sacrifice by which atonement is made (1 Cor. 5:7); Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us. This ordinance is to us the passover-supper,... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Matthew 26:14-16

Instead of taking the story of Judas piece-meal as it occurs in the gospel record, we shall take it as a whole, reading one after another the last incidents and the final suicide of the traitor. The Traitor's Bargain ( Matthew 26:14-16 ) 26:14-16 Then one of the Twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said, "What are you willing to give me, if I hand him over to you?" They settled with him for a sum of thirty shekels; and from that time he sought for an opportunity... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Matthew 26:17-19

As we took together the passages which tell the story of Judas so now we take the passages which tell the story of the Last Supper. The Ancestral Feast ( Matthew 26:17-19 ) 26:17-19 On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus. "Where," they said, "do you wish that we should make the necessary preparations for you to eat the Passover?" He said, "Go into the city to such and such a man, and say to him, 'The Teacher says, my time is near. I will keep the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:14

Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot ,.... Who was provoked and exasperated, to the last degree, by this action of the woman, and Christ's defence of it, and because the ointment was not sold, and the money put into his hand; and being instigated by Satan, who had now entered into him, formed a scheme in his mind to betray his master, and was resolved to put it in execution, whereby he might, in some measure, satisfy both his avarice and revenge; and, as an aggravation of this his... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:15

And said unto them ,.... Though the words, "to them", are not in the original text, they are rightly supplied; as they are by the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Arabic, Persic, and Ethiopic versions, and in Munster's Hebrew Gospel; and mean the chief priests to whom Judas went, and to whom he made the following proposal; what will ye give me, and I will deliver him to you ? They did not ask him to do it, he first made the motion; a barbarous and shocking one! to deliver his Lord and Master,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:16

And from that time he sought opportunity to betray him. Luke adds, "in the absence of the multitude", Luke 22:6 ; in the most private manner, when he was alone, and in some solitary place, that no tumult might arise, and that there might be no danger of a rescue: for so he, and the chief priests, had consulted, and settled it, as what would be most prudent and advisable; and therefore, from that time forward, being prompted on by Satan, and the lucre of the money he was to receive, he... read more

Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread ,.... There were seven of these days, and this was the first of them, in which the Jews might not eat leavened bread, from the fourteenth, to the twenty first of the month Nisan; in commemoration of their being thrust out of Egypt, in so much haste, that they had not time to leaven the dough, which was in their kneading troughs: wherefore, according to their canons F3 Misn. Pesach. c. 1. sect, 1. Maimon. Chametz Umetzah, c. 2. sect. 3,... read more

And he said, go into the city to such a man ,.... That is, to such a man in the city of Jerusalem, for, as yet, they were in Bethany, or at the Mount of Olives however, without the city; he does not mention the man's name, but describes him, as Mark and Luke say, and tells them, "there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house, where he entereth in", Mark 14:13 ; who seems to be not the master of the house, but a servant, that was sent on such an errand.... read more
