Matthew 26:20 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve.

Ver. 20. He sat down with the twelve] With Judas among the rest; though Hilary hold otherwise, for what reason I know not. Christ sat at the sacrament, when yet the gesture imported in the law was standing; and this sitting at the Passover was nowhere commanded, yet by the godly Jews was generally used. Let this "heap of wheat" (the Lord's supper, as some interpret it) be "set about with lilies," Song of Solomon 7:2, that is, with Christians, white, and of holy life; that is the main matter to be looked to.
