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. Psal. 41.9. Yea mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted; which did eat of my bread, hath lift up his heel against me. Lo, this was the Traitor, and this was his name and office.

Secondly, You have a description of the Treason, or an account what this man did. He led an armed multitude to the place where Christ was. Gave them a signal to discover him, and encouraged them to lay hands on him, and hold him fast. This was that Hellish design, which the Devil put into his heart, working upon that principle, or lust of covetousness, which was predominant there. What will not a carnal heart attempt, if the Devil suit a temptation to the predominant lust, and God withhold restraining grace!
