25 Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, "Surely you don't mean me, Rabbi?" Jesus answered, "You have said so."
25 Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.
25 Judas, who would betray him, answered, "Is it I, Rabbi?" He said to him, "You have said so."
25 Then Judas, already turned traitor, said, "It isn't me, is it, Rabbi?" Jesus said, "Don't play games with me, Judas."
25 Then Judas, who was betraying Him, answered and said, "Rabbi, is it I?" He said to him, "You have said it."
25 Judas, the one who would betray him, also asked, "Rabbi, am I the one?" And Jesus told him, "You have said it."
49 Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, "Greetings, Rabbi!" and kissed him.
49 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.
49 And he came up to Jesus at once and said, "Greetings, Rabbi!" And he kissed him.
49 He went straight to Jesus, greeted him, "How are you, Rabbi?" and kissed him.
49 Immediately he went up to Jesus and said, "Greetings, Rabbi!" and kissed Him.
49 So Judas came straight to Jesus. "Greetings, Rabbi!" he exclaimed and gave him the kiss.
(Read Matthew 26:47-56)
No enemies are so much to be abhorred as those professed disciples that betray Christ with a kiss. God has no need of our services, much less of our sins, to bring about his purposes. Though Christ was crucified through weakness, it was voluntary weakness; he submitted to death. If he had not been willing to suffer, they could not conquer him. It was a great sin for those who had left all to follow Jesus; now to leave him for they knew not what. What folly, for fear of death to flee from Him, whom they knew and acknowledged to be the Fountain of life!
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Matthew 26:25
Commentary on Matthew 26:17-25
(Read Matthew 26:17-25)
Observe, the place for their eating the passover was pointed out by Christ to the disciples. He knows those hidden ones who favour his cause, and will graciously visit all who are willing to receive him. The disciples did as Jesus had appointed. Those who would have Christ's presence in the gospel passover, must do what he says. It well becomes the disciples of Christ always to be jealous over themselves, especially in trying times. We know not how strongly we may be tempted, nor how far God may leave us to ourselves, therefore we have reason not to be high-minded, but to fear. Heart-searching examination and fervent prayer are especially proper before the Lord's supper, that, as Christ our Passover is now sacrificed for us, we may keep this feast, renewing our repentance, our faith in his blood, and surrendering ourselves to his service.
