Patristic A.D. 253
“And even now Jesus is betrayed into the hands of sinners, when those who seem to believe in Jesus, continue to sin while they have Him in their hands. Also whenever a righteous man, who has Jesus in Him, is put into the power of sinners, Jesus is delivered into the hands of sinners.”
Catena Aurea: Gospel of Matthew, as excerpted in the Catena Aurea on Matthew 26:45-46
