Commentary

John Gill on 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 wickedness, he is described, as "one of the twelve": of his twelve disciples; so the Persic and Ethiopic versions: this is a way of speaking used by the Jews (k); they call the twelve lesser prophets, or…

Matthew 26:14-20 Matthew 26:14-20 Mark 14:10-17 Luke 22:3-14 14. Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests, 15.

And the disciples did as Jesus commanded them, an…

Tyndale Open Study Notes on Matthew 26:14-16

Judas sold himself to the authorities (see also John 11:57), concealed it (Matt 26:25), and then took them to Jesus at the appropriate time so they could carry out their plans (26:47-56; see John 18:2). Later, Judas was overcome by guilt and committed suicide (Matt 27:3-10; see Acts 1:15-22). Judas was apparently known for his greed (Matt 26:14-15; John 12:4-6; 13:29). It is also possible that he was motivated by disappointment over the nature of Jesus’ reign as Messiah, his own humiliation over the anointing of Jesus (see John 12:1-8), or resentment over the leadership of the Galilean apostles, Peter, James, and John. Whatever his motivation, Judas’s betrayal was a part of God’s sovereign p…
