The action of Judas was no surprise to Jesus (see John 6:64, 70, 71). This was Judas‘ first contact with the Jewish leaders for the purpose of betraying his Master (see on Matt. 26:14). John makes the same observation concerning the experience of Judas at the time of his third and final contact with the Jewish leaders, on the night of the betrayal (ch. 13:2, 27).
