What Does Matthew 26:25 Mean?
Last of all, Judas takes up the question the others asked -- but where they said Lord, he says Master, teacher. Jesus answers with quiet directness: Thou hast said. The betrayer hears that he is known.
Judas asks the question with the bargain money already counted. Jesus answers without exposing him to the others, even now leaving a door ajar; the word that unmasks him is also an appeal. To be fully known by Christ and still addressed with restraint -- that is a mercy Judas walked away from.
