SEV Biblia, Chapter 26:47

¶ Y hablando an l, he aquí Judas, uno de los doce, vino, y con l muchas personas con espadas y bastones, de parte de los príncipes de los sacerdotes, y de los ancianos del pueblo.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:47

Verse 47.
Judas, one of the twelve] More deeply to mark his base ingratitude and desperate wickedness-HE was ONE of the TWELVE-and he is a TRAITOR, and one of the vilest too that ever disgraced human nature.

A great multitude with swords and staves] They did not come as officers of justice, but as a desperate mob. Justice had nothing to do in this business. He who a little before had been one of the leaders of the flock of Christ is now become the leader of ruffians and murderers! What a terrible fall!


John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 47. And while he yet spake , etc.] While he was thus speaking to his disciples, before the last words, he is at hand that doth betray me, were well out of his mouth; such an exact knowledge had Christ of every motion of Judas, of what he was about, and where he was: lo! Judas, one of the twelve, came . The Persic version adds, in sight; of Christ, and the disciples; they saw him, and knew him, though some little distance: he came to Gethsemane, and into the garden, where they were, with a design to betray his master. He is described by his name Judas; as in ( Matthew 26:14), for there was another Judas among the apostles; the Syriac and Persic read, Judas the betrayer, to distinguish him from the other: and also by his office, one of the twelve; i.e. apostles, whom Christ called from the rest of his disciples and followers, and bestowed extraordinary gifts upon, and sent forth to preach the Gospel, cast out devils, and heal all manner of diseases; and lo!, one of these betrays him! an apostle, and yet a devil! one of the twelve, one of his select company, and bosom friends, and yet a traitor! and with him a great multitude, with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders the people . Judas was at the head of them, went before them to show them where Christ was, and to deliver him into their hands: he had not been asleep, he had been with the chief priests, and acquainted them with the opportunity he had of making good his agreement with him: he had got the band of soldiers, and other persons together, in order to make sure work of it. Thus we see how diligent wicked men are in the accomplishment of their evil designs, whilst good men are asleep and indifferent to godly and spiritual exercises. Judas is here described by his company; he who but a few hours ago was at table with his Lord, and the rest of the apostles, is now at the head of band of Roman soldiers, and other miscreants, and blood thirsty wretches, intent upon the death of his master. They may well be called a multitude, because made up of various sorts of persons, and these, many of them; of Roman soldiers, of the officers and servants of the chief priests; yea of the chief priests themselves, captains of the temple, and elders of the people, who were so eager upon this enterprise, that they could not forbear going in company with them, to see what would be the issue of it. And a great one; for the band of soldiers, if it was complete, consisted of a thousand men itself; and besides this, there were many others, and all to take a single person, and who had no more about him than eleven disciples; though the Jews pretend he had two thousand men with him: and who came also with swords and staves, or clubs; the Roman soldiers with their swords, and the servants of the chief priests with their clubs: the reason of this posse, and of their being thus armed, might be either for fear of the people, who, should they be alarmed, and have any notice of their design, might rise and make an uproar, and attempt to rescue him; or that by having a Roman band with them, and the chief priests and their officers, it might appear, that what they did they did by authority; and that they seized him as a malefactor, as one guilty either of sedition, or heresy, or both. And this account is confirmed by the Jews themselves, who say f1579 , that the citizens, of Jerusalem were ynywzm , armed, and equiped, and so took Jesus: and this multitude also came from the chief priests and elders of the people. Mark joins the Scribes with them, ( Mark 14:43): these composed the sanhedrim, or great council of the nation, who had been consulting the death of Christ; had agreed to give Judas thirty pieces of silver to betray him into their hands; had obtained a band of soldiers of the Roman governor to apprehend him, and sent their officers and servants to assist herein; these all acted under their direction, influence, and authority.

The Vulgate Latin, and Munsters Hebrew Gospel read, sent, from them.


Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 47-56 - No enemies are so much to be abhorred as those professed disciples tha betray Christ with a kiss. God has no need of our services, much les of our sins, to bring about his purposes. Though Christ was crucifie through weakness, it was voluntary weakness; he submitted to death. I he had not been willing to suffer, they could not conquer him. It was great sin for those who had left all to follow Jesus; now to leave his 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!

Vincent's NT Word Studies

47. One of the twelve. Repeated in all three
evangelists, in the narratives both of the betrayal and of the arrest. By the time Matthew's Gospel was written, the phrase had become a stereotyped designation of the traitor, like he that betrayed him.

A great multitude. The Sanhedrin had neither soldiery nor a regularly-armed band at command. In John xviii. 3, Judas receives a cohort of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees. Part of the band would consist of this regularly-armed cohort, and the rest of a crowd armed with cudgels, and embracing some of the servants of conspicuous men in the Sanhedrin.


Robertson's NT Word Studies

26:47 {While he yet spake} (eti autou lalountos). It was an electric moment as Jesus faced Judas with his horde of helpers as if he turned to meet an army. {Let us go} (agwmen), Jesus had said. And here he is. The eight at the gate seemed to have given no notice. Judas is described here as "one of the twelve" (heis twn dwdeka) in all three Synoptic Gospels (#Mr 14:43; Mt 26:47; Lu 22:47). The very horror of the thing is thus emphasized, that one of the chosen twelve apostles should do this dastardly deed. {A great multitude} (oclos polus). The chief priests and Pharisees had furnished Judas a band of soldiers from the garrison in Antonia (#Joh 18:3) and the temple police (#Lu 22:52) with swords (knives) and staves (clubs) with a hired rabble who had lanterns also (#Joh 18:3) in spite of the full moon. Judas was taking no chances of failure for he well knew the strange power of Jesus.
