Remigius of Auxerre, on Matt 26:47

Remigius of Auxerre · c. A.D. 841–908
Matt 26:47 · Douay-Rheims
“As he yet spoke, behold Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the ancients of the people.”
On this verse:
“One of the twelve, by association of name, not of desert. This shews the monstrous wickedness of the man who from the dignity of the Apostleship became the traitor. To shew that it was out of envy that they seized Him, it is added, A great multitude sent by the Chief Priests and elders of the people.”
