And said unto them, What will you give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.
All Commentaries on Matthew 26:15 Go To Matthew 26
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Oh madness! How did covetousness altogether blind him! For he that had often seen Him when He went through the midst, and was not seized, and when He afforded many demonstrations of His Godhead and power, looked to lay hold on Him; and this while He was using like a charm for him so many, both awful and soothing words, to put an end to this evil thought. For not even at the supper did He forbear from this care of him, but unto the last day discoursed to him of these things. But he profited nothing. Yet not for that did the Lord cease to do His part.
