Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.

Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed. And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.

This was to be his last meal with his disciples before he died, and he had...

And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: for I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. That was the passover cup. Now the passover melts into the Lord’s supper; and, henceforth, the Lord’s supper remains, and the passover has passed away.

And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves for I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. This was the passover cup,-the cup with which they concluded the paschal supper. At such times, they also usually began to chant a Psalm in happy unison. Just...

And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body, which is given for you this do in remembrance of me. It was clearly impossible that he could have meant that bread to be literally his body, because his body was there at the table. Therefore, the misunderstanding, or misrepresentation, of the Church of...

In my blood, which is shed for you. But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. What a shadow this revelation must have cast over that solemn feast over the Saviour’s heart, and over the minds of all his attached disciples! We can scarcely imagine what pangs tore his loving spirit. He could have used the language of...

Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood, which is shed for you. He could not have meant that, literally, that cup was the new covenant; I never heard of anybody who thought he did. Why, then, take one part of the ordinance literally, if not the other? But our Lord did mean that the contents of that cup...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. This was a sad and solemn fact; yet it has often been so since that night. The nearer to Christ, the farther from him, — so has it sometimes happened since. He who was in some respects the highest in the College of the Apostles became the lowest in the ranks of the children of...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. Lamentable circumstance,-sad index of what often still occurs! The worst traitors to Christ are not outside, but inside the visible church; there they have the best opportunity for doing mischief; there they can give the unkindest cut of all. God grant that none of us may be...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed! And they began to inquire among themselves, which of them it was that should do this thing. Let us also pass that question round among ourselves. “When any turn from Zion’s way, (Alas, what numbers do!) Methinks I hear my Saviour say, ‘Wilt thou...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed! The decree of God does not lessen the responsibility of man for his action. Even though it is predetermined of God, the man does it of his own free will, and on him falls the full guilt of it.
