Commentary

Commentary on Matthew 26:24

Theological / Devotional

Son of man. See on Matt. 1:1; Mark 2:10.

Goeth. Gr. hupago, a mild synonym for death.

As it is written. Jesus probably refers to such passages as Ps. 22 and Isa. 53.

Woe. The fact that Inspiration had foretold the conspiracy of Judas in no way absolved him from his personal responsibility in the matter. God had not predestined him to betray his Master. The decision of Judas constituted a deliberate choice on his part.

Not been born. Compare ch. 18:6.
