Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that does betray me.
All Commentaries on Matthew 26:46 Go To Matthew 26
John Chrysostom
AD 407

The words, “the hour is at hand,” point out that all that has been done was by Divine interference; and that, “into the hands of sinners,” show that this wasthe work of their wickedness, not that He was guilty of any crime.
