Joh 13:27. Μετὰ τὸ ψώμιον, after the giving of the morsel) not at the time of giving the morsel.-τότε, then) The time is accurately marked, and may be compared with the similar notation of time, Luk 22:3; Luk 22:7, “Then (δέ) entered Satan into Judas;-then (δέ) came the day of unleavened bread,” etc.-εἰσῆλθεν, entered) Previously he may have only suggested [“put into his heart”] the thought, Joh 13:2 [ch. Joh 12:4 (his objection to the waste of the ointment on the person of Jesus); Joh 6:70-71, “Jesus answered,-One of you is a devil: He spake of Judas”]. As the economy of evil and that of good may, from opposite sides, be compared with one another in all respects: so also the degrees of satanic operation and possession may be compared with those of the Divine operation and indwelling.-ἐκεῖνον, that man) He already marks Judas by a pronoun that removes him to a distance.-ὃ ποιεῖς, what thou doest) He does not desire him to do it, but, if he must persist in doing it, to do it quickly; and thereby He intimates, that He is ready for suffering. Judas might have perceived from this ray of the Lord’s omniscience, that he is known.-τάχιον, more quickly) So εὐθέως, Joh 13:30, “He then, having received the sop, went immediately out.” In Joh 13:31, “Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified,” the cause is shown why Jesus thus hastened to the passion.
