Commentary

Commentary on Matthew 26:25

Theological / Devotional

Judas. See on Mark 3:19. Judas had not heard Christ’s statement concerning him as the betrayer (see on Matt. 26:23). In the confusion he had kept silent as the others inquired, “Is it I?” and his silence now made him conspicuous (DA 654).

Thou hast said. See on v. 21. This affirmation was an indirect, perhaps slightly ambiguous, way of saying Yes (cf. v. 64). The other disciples, with the possible exception of John (see John 13:25-27), did not grasp the import of Jesus’ final statement to Judas (see John 13:28). But Judas fully realized that Jesus discerned his secret, and left immediately for his third conference with the Jewish leaders (John 13:31; DA 654, 655).
