To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
that, " it was the most natural thing in the world to have upbraided him with the stain he had put upon his Master's character, by ihe contract they had made with him. It is true they called the money they gave him, *'the price of blood :" but they did not mean this in the strictest sense, as they had neither liired Judas to assassinate his Master, nor can they be supposed to have charged themselves with the guilt of murdering him. It was only the price of blood consequent on being the reward t...hey had given to the traitor for putting it in their power to take away the life of Christ under the color and form of public justice. Now it may be doubted whether Judas asked the money as a re- ward of his service. He covetously, indeed, kept it ; and the priests, for that reason, called it the jjrice of blood. In short, Judas knew that the rulers could not take away the life of any person whatsoever, the Romans having deprived them of that power, and therefore some think he could have no design of this kind in delivering him up : not to mention that it was a common opinion among the Jews, that the Messiah could never die : an opinion that Judas might easily embrace, having seen his Master raise several persons, and among the rest, one who had been in the grave no less than four days.
