Matthew 26:24

“The son of man goeth, etc.] Meaning himself, not to the Mount of Olives, or Gethsemane, or the garden, whither he went a little after this, but out of the world, to his Father: the phrase is expressive of his death, as in (<062314>Joshua 23:14 <193913>Psalm 39:13), and denotes the voluntariness of it, and which is no ways inconsistent with the divine determinations about it: nor the violence that was offered to him by his enemies. As it is written; in the book of God’s eternal purposes and decrees; for Luke says, “as it was determined” (<422222>Luke 22:22): or as it was recorded in the books of the Old Testament; in (<192201>Psalm 22:1-31), (<235301>Isaiah 53:112) and (<270901>Daniel 9:1-27)…”

“As they did eat ... - The account contained in these verses is also recorded in Mark 14:18-21; Luke 22:21-23; John 13:21-22. John says that before Jesus declared that one of them should betray him, “he was troubled in spirit, and testified;” that is, he “felt deeply” in view of the greatness of the crime that Judas was about to commit, and the sufferings that he was to endure, and “testified,” or gave utterance to his inward feelings of sorrow. Matthew 26:22 They were exceeding sorrowful - John says John 13:22 “they looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake” - that is, they anxiously looked one at another, conscious each one, except Judas, of no such intention, and each one beginning…”

“The Son of man goeth through sufferings to glory, as it is written of him - Yet this is no excuse for him that betrayeth him: miserable will that man be: it had been good for that man if he had not been born - May not the same be said of every man that finally perishes? But who can reconcile this, if it were true of Judas alone, with the doctrine of universal salvation? Matthew 26:25”

“26:24 as the Scriptures declared: Jesus might have been referring to Isa 53:7-9 or to the broader Old Testament theme of a suffering Messiah. This verse combines God’s sovereign will with human responsibility.”
