What Does Matthew 26:14 Mean?
Straight from the supper at Bethany, Matthew turns to Judas. He is introduced with the phrase that never loses its sting: one of the twelve. The man who approaches the conspirators is not an outsider but an apostle, a companion of three years.
The contrast with the woman is the point of the arrangement: she gives extravagantly to Jesus; Judas goes to see what he can get for Him. Two hearts at the same table moved in opposite directions. Nearness to Christ is not the same as love for Him.
