<p>13:30- see on Mk. 14:68; Lk. 22:62.</p><p><i>He then having received the morsel went out immediately into the night</i>- There seems an echo of how Esau &quot;for one morsel of meat sold his birth right&quot; (Heb. 12:16). The immediate and the visible is so powerfully attractive, so powerful that it can lead men to throw away their spiritual birth right and betray God's peerless Son. &quot;Went out&quot; is a term later used by John to describe all those who went out from the community of John's converts- back into the darkness of Judaism, just as Judas did (1 Jn. 2:19). Judas is not, therefore, any special case. He is representative of an entire class of people, indeed, all those who turn away from the Lord's love.</p>
