Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, and said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you?

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the Passover? And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the Passover, at thy house with my disciples. And the disciples did as Jesus...

Matthew 26:19

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the Passover. If Christ’s disciples always loyally did a Jesus appointed them, they would always speed well on his errands. There are many more people in the world ready to yield to Christ than some of us think. If we would only go to them as Peter and John went to this man in...

Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve. And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. Our Lord remained in seclusion until the evening, and then went to the appointed place, and sat down, or rather, reclined at the paschal table, with the twelve. And as they did eat, he said, “Verily I say...

Matthew 26:20

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve. Why so many people celebrate the Lord’s supper in the morning, I cannot imagine, unless it be that they desire to do everything contrary to their Lord’s command and example: “When the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.” I do not think there is any binding ordinance making the...

Matthew 26:21

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. This saying of our Lord must have startled his disciples; they had all made great professions of affection for him, and for the most part those professions were true; but this sentence must have fallen like a bomb-shell among them: “One of you shall betray me.”

Matthew 26:21-22

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.

Matthew 26:22

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I? That short sentence fell like a bomb-shell among the Saviour’s bodyguard.

Matthew 26:22

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I? What anguish does that question always stir within the heart and mind of every true believer! “Shall I ever betray my Lord and Master? Shall I every deny or forsake him?” God grant that none of us may ever do as Judas did!

Matthew 26:22

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it? They did not doubt their Lord’s declaration, they knew it must be true; and it produced in them deep emotion: “They were exceeding sorrowful.” It also wrought in them earnest self-examination; they did not any one of them say, “Lord, is it Judas?” Perhaps...

Matthew 26:22

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I? The habit of self-suspicion, rather than suspecting somebody else, is a good one. If there is anyone in this place who is going to commit a gross sin, why may it not be myself? The natural tendency of each one of us is to say, “I shall never do such a...

Matthew 26:22

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

And began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I? It shows a beautiful trait in their character that they did not suspect one another, and least of all, I suppose, did they suspect Judas; but each one asked, “Lord, is it I?” It is an admirable way of hearing a sermon to take it home to yourself, especially if there be a rebuke or a...
