Bede the Venerable — as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Luke 22:3-6

Patristic A.D. 735
Bede the Venerable · c. A.D. 672–735
“Now many shudder at the wickedness of Judas, yet do not guard against it. For whosoever despises the laws of truth and love, betrays Christ who is truth and love. Above all, when he sins not from infirmity or ignorance, but after the likeness of Judas seeks opportunity, when no one is present, to change truth for a lie, virtue for crime.”
