Mark 14:21 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:21

The son of man indeed goeth
Out of this world by death,

as it is written;
both in the book of God's decrees, and in the Scriptures of the Old Testament;

but woe to that man by whom the son of man is betrayed!
whose sin will not be excused, nor lessened by fulfilling the decrees of God, and by accomplishing the prophecies of the Bible:

good were it for that man if he had never been born;
so aggravating will be his crime, so dreadful his punishment; (See Gill on Matthew 26:24).
