John13:2
2 And Supper being ended , the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot Simons son, to betray him .
Possibly it were better translated, while they were at Supper, or in Supper time, Greek [non-Latin text not transcribed], but the great question is, What Supper is here intended? Our most Learned Lightfoot is very confident, this was not the Paschal Supper. The most Interpreters, Ancient and modern, seem to be of another mind; or it may be rather a common Supper which they ate before the Passover: for whereas some think this Supper was that in the House of Simon the Leper, mentioned Matth. 26.6. It seemeth no way probable, no circumstance inclining us to believe any such thing; and the Evangelist having told us that it was after that Supper, that Christ rode into Ierusalem, and again went from thence, and hid himself, Chap. 12.36. and then reporting this as a thing subsequent to it in this Chapter: It seemeth very clear to me, that it could not be the Supper in the House of Simon the Leper.
Concerning the influence of the Devil upon Iudas, to put it into his heart to betray his Master, see Luke 22.8.
