Commentary on Matthew 26:16

Theological / Devotional

Opportunity. Gr. eukairia, “a favorable time,” that is, one suitable to the requirements of the rulers of the nation (see on vs. 4, 5). Judas provided the missing link in the priestly plot against Jesus — a convenient means (Mark 14:11) for taking Jesus into custody “in the absence of the multitude” (Luke 22:6; cf. Mark 14:1, 2). No wonder the priests and elders were “glad” (Mark 14:11).
