Matthew 26:24

Matthew 26:24

22 And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and each of them began to say to Him, “Lord, is it I?”

23 He answered and said, ^a“He who dipped his hand with Me in the dish will betray Me.

24 The Son of Man indeed goes just ^aas it is written of Him, but ^bwoe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! ^cIt would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”

25 Then Judas, who was betraying Him, answered and said, “Rabbi, is it I?” He said to him, “You have said it.”

Jesus Institutes the Lord’s Supper

26 ^aAnd as they were eating, ^bJesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; ^cthis is My body.”

Good were it for that man (kalon hn autw). Conclusion of second-class condition even though an is not expressed. It is not needed with verbs of obligation and necessity. There are some today who seek to palliate the crime of Judas. But Jesus here pronounces his terrible doom. And Judas heard it and went on with his hellish bargain with the Sanhedrin. Apparently Judas went out at this stage (John 13:31).
