Matthew Poole and continuators on Acts 1:16

16 Men and brethren , this Scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas , which was guide to them that took Jesus.

An ordinary compellation; Speaker and Auditors were Hebrews of the Hebrews.

viz. Psal. 41.9. must needs be fulfilled: yet God's foreknowledg and prediction, excused not Iudas his sin:

not onely leading them in the way when they took our Saviour, but being director of their Counsels against him. This the Apostle premises to abate the offence that the horrible fall of Iudas might have occasioned.

Marginal references: John 13.18. and 18.3.
