SCRIPTURE COMMENTARY #492
"But yet behold: the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. And the Son of man indeed goeth, according to that which is determined: but yet, woe to that man by whom he shall be betrayed." (Luke 22:21-22)
GOD CAN BRING GOOD OUT OF EVIL: Although our Lord died of His own will, still Judas was guilty of His Death, and on that account Jesus pronounced "woe" on him. But even as once God turned the crime of Joseph's brethren to good account, so did He suffer the wickedness of Judas and of the unbelieving Jews to enter into the plan of redemption, and allow their sin to be the cause of that Death which brought salvation to the world.
