- Matthew 26:14–16
Then one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
Commentary on Matthew 26:14–161 voice
Judas means "confessor." Luke the Evangelist numbers both "Judas the son of James and Judas Iscariot" among the twelve apostles. Since two of Christ's disciples were given this same name and since there can be no meaningless symbol in the Christian mystery, I am convinced that the two Judases represent two distinct types of confessing Christians. The first, symbolized by Judas the son of James, perseveres in remaining faithful to Christ. The second type, however, after once believing and professing faith in Christ, then abandons him out of greed.
Origen of Alexandria· COMMENTARY ON MATTHEW 78, 253Patristic
- Matthew 26:46–50
Rise, let us go! See, My betrayer is approaching!”
Commentary on Matthew 26:46–502 voices
Having concluded His third prayer, and having obtained that the Apostles' terror should be corrected by subsequent penitence, He goes forth undaunted by the prospect of His own Passion to meet His pursuers, and offers Himself voluntarily to be sacrificed. Arise, let us be going; as much as to say, Let them not find you trembling, let us go forth willingly to death, that they may see us confident and rejoicing in suffering; Lo, he that shall betray me draweth near.
Jerome· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 420Patristic
(Verse 46, 47) Get up, let's go, behold the one who will betray me is approaching. While He was still speaking, behold Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, sent by the chief priests and elders of the people. Let us not be found as if fearing and retreating, let us willingly go towards death, so that they may see the confidence and joy we will endure.
Jerome· Commentary on Matthew, 420Patristic
- Mark 14:10
Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus to them.
Commentary on Mark 14:102 voices
(ὁ περὶ τὸν βασιλέα χορὸς ap. Chrys.) But he was one of the twelve in number, not in merit, one in body, not in soul. But he went to the Chief Priests after he went out and Satan entered into him. Every living thing unites with what is like itself. And he promises to betray Him, as his master the devil said before, All this power I will give thee. (Luke 4:6) It goes on, And when they heard it they were glad, and promised to give him money.
Pseudo-Jerome· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 9999Patristic
And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve,....
John Gill· Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)Reformed
- Mark 14:11
They were delighted to hear this, and they promised to give him money. So Judas began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus.
Commentary on Mark 14:112 voices
(ὁ περὶ τὸν βασιλέα χορὸς ap. Chrys.) But he was one of the twelve in number, not in merit, one in body, not in soul. But he went to the Chief Priests after he went out and Satan entered into him. Every living thing unites with what is like itself. And he promises to betray Him, as his master the devil said before, All this power I will give thee. (Luke 4:6) It goes on, And when they heard it they were glad, and promised to give him money.
Pseudo-Jerome· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 9999Patristic
He is sold, and cheap was the price—thirty pieces of silver; yet he buys back the world at the mighty cost of his own blood. A sheep, he is led to the slaughter—yet he shepherds Israel and now the whole world as well.
Gregory of Nazianzus· ORATION 29, ON THE SON 20, 390Patristic
- Mark 14:43–45
While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, accompanied by a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests, scribes, and elders.
Commentary on Mark 14:43–452 voices
This is not put without reason, but to the greater conviction of the traitor, since though he was of the chief company amongst the disciples, he turned himself to furious enmity against our Lord. And with him a great multitude with swords and staves from the Chief Priests and the Scribes and the elders.
Theophylact of Ohrid· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 1107Patristic
And immediately, while he yet spake,.... The above words: cometh Judas one of the twelve: apostles of Christ, and which was an aggravation of his wickedness; the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Arabic, Persic, and Ethiopic, versions add, "Iscariot"; and so it is read in one of Beza's copies.
John Gill· Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)Reformed
- Luke 22:3–6
Then Satan entered Judas Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve.
Commentary on Luke 22:3–61 voice
Jesus Christ our Savior has been crucified. The author of this crime and father of this wickedness is, without doubt, the devil. It is written: "When, however, the devil had entered the heart of Judas Iscariot that he should betray him." The devil is the father of sin. He fathered Judas as his first son in this wickedness, but Judas alone could not execute the betrayal. What then is written?
Origen of Alexandria· HOMILIES ON EXODUS 8.6, 253Patristic
- Luke 22:21–23
Look! The hand of My betrayer is with Mine on the table.
Commentary on Luke 22:21–231 voice
For we now affirm: This is lawful to the Lord alone: may the power of His indulgence be operative at the present day! At those times, however, in which He lived on earth we lay this down definitively, that it is no prejudgment against us if pardon used to be conferred on sinners-even Jewish ones. For Christian discipline dates from the renewing of the Testament, and (as we have premised) from the redemption of flesh-that is, the Lord's passion.
Tertullian· On Modesty, 220Patristic
- Luke 22:47
While He was still speaking, a crowd arrived, led by the man called Judas, one of the Twelve. He approached Jesus to kiss Him.
Commentary on Luke 22:472 voices
The great significance of divine power, the great discipline of virtue. And the plan of betrayal is revealed, and yet patience is not denied. You have shown, Lord, who would betray, while you reveal hidden things. You have also shown whom he would deliver, while you say: Son of man; because flesh, not divinity, can be understood. However, the fact that he handed him over contradicts even more the ungrateful, that he, although being the Son of God, yet wanted to be the Son of man for our sake.
Ambrose of Milan· EXPOSITION OF THE GOSPEL OF LUKE 10.63-64, 397Patristic
And while he yet spake,.... The above words to his disciples, behold a multitude.
John Gill· Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)Reformed
- Luke 22:48
But Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”
Commentary on Luke 22:482 voices
It must be used I think by way of question, as if he arrests the traitor with a lover's affection. He says, Betrayest thou with a kiss? that is, dost thou inflict a wound with the pledge of love? with the instruments of peace dost thou impose death? a slave, dost thou betray thy Lord; a disciple, thy master; one chosen, Him who chose thee? O great manifestation of Divine power, great discipline of virtue! Both the design of thy traitor is detected, and yet forbearance is not withheld.
Ambrose of Milan· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 397Patristic

You have shown, Lord, who would betray, while you reveal hidden things. You have also shown whom he would deliver, while you say: Son of man; because flesh, not divinity, can be understood.

Ambrose of Milan· EXPOSITION OF THE GOSPEL OF LUKE 10.63-64, 397Patristic
- John 13:2
The evening meal was underway, and the devil had already put into the heart of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus.
Commentary on John 13:21 voice
Judas was sleeping: finally, he did not hear the words of Christ. Judas was sleeping, and indeed the sleep of riches, seeking a reward for his betrayal. The devil saw him sleeping, and oppressed by the heavy sleep of greed: he entered into his heart, wounded the horse, threw off the rider, whom he separated from Christ.
Ambrose of Milan· On the Blessings of the Patriarchs, Chapter 7.33, 397Patristic
- John 13:27–30
And when Judas had taken the morsel, Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to Judas, “What you are about to do, do quickly.”
Commentary on John 13:27–301 voice
And after the sop, Satan entered into him,.... After he had taken and eaten the sop, or crust of bread, by which he was pointed out to be the betrayer, "Satan entered into him"; possessed his body, and filled his mind, and stirred him up more eagerly to pursue with rigour his wicked design.
John Gill· Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)Reformed
- John 18:2–8
Now Judas His betrayer also knew the place, because Jesus had often met there with His disciples.
Commentary on John 18:2–81 voice
Judas knew that at the feast time our Lord was wont to teach His disciples high and mysterious doctrines, and that He taught in places like this. And as it was then a solemn season, he thought He would be found there, teaching His disciples things relating to the feast.
Theophylact of Ohrid· Catena Aurea by Aquinas, 1107Patristic
- John 18:13
They brought Him first to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, the high priest that year.
Commentary on John 18:131 voice
And they bring Him to Annas, who was the father-in-law of Caiaphas, whence we may conclude that he was the prime mover and contriver of the iniquity against Christ, and that the traitor, when he received his hire, obtained from him the band to take Christ. He is, therefore, taken away to him first of all. For the Jews were bent on showing to us, that that was indeed truly spoken of them which the prophet put into their mouths: *Let us bind the righteous Man, for He is useless unto us.*
