Commentary on Matthew 26:46

Theological / Devotional

Let us be going. Instead of hiding, or seeking to escape, from the mob that was about to arrest Him, Jesus went out to meet them. He might have avoided retiring to a spot Judas knew to be His usual place of retirement (Luke 22:39; John 18:2; see on Matt 26:36; cf. DA 685, 716), or He could have left before His enemies arrived. But He did not depart, even when He heard their approaching footsteps.
