Leo the Great, on Matt 26:20

“But when it was evening, he sat down with his twelve disciples.”

“(Serm. 58.3.) He shews that the conscience of His betrayer was known to Him, not meeting his wickedness with a harsh and open rebuke, that penitence might find a readier way to one who had not been disgraced by public dismissal.”
