And think you that they were idle on their parts? No, no, their malice made them restless. They had agreed with Judas to betray him. Under his conduct a band of Soldiers are sent to apprehend him. The hour so long expected is come. For, while he yet spake, saith the text, lo Judas one of the twelve came, and with him a great multitude, with swords, and staves.

Thirdly, Of the Manner of its execution, how it was contrived and affected. Lastly, Of the Time, when they put this Hellish plot in execution.

First, We have here a description of the Traitor: and it is remarkable, how carefully the several Evangelists, have described him, both by his name, surname and office, Judas, Judas Iscariot, Judas Iscariot one of the twelve: that he might not be mistaken for Jude or Judas the Apostle. God is tender of the names and reputations of his upright hearted Servants. His office one of the twelve, is added, to aggravate the fact; and to show how that prophecy was accomplished in him.
