Context of Matthew 26:24
22And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say to him, Lord, is it I? 23And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. The Son of man goeth as it is written concerning him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! it had been good for that man if he had not been born. 25Then Judas, who betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said to him, Thou hast said. 26And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

Commentaries on Matthew 26:24
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 24The Son of man goeth - That is, is about to die. Going, going away, departing, etc., are frequently used in the best Greek and Latin writers, for death, or dying. The same words are often used in the Scriptures in the same sense. It had been good for that man - Can this be said of any sinner, in the common sense in which it is understood, if there be any redemption from hell's torments? If a sinner should suffer millions of millions of years in them, and…Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 21-24Verses 21-24 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…Read the comment

Those who would have Christ's presence in the gospel passover, must do what he says. It well becomes the disciples of Christ always to be jealous over themselves, especially in trying times. We know…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 24as it is written: Jesus might have been referring to Isaiah 53:7–9 or the broader Old Testament theme of a suffering Messiah. This verse shows both God's sovereign will and human responsibility.Read the comment
