Indeed
The word "indeed" serves as an affirmation, emphasizing the certainty and inevitability of the events that are about to unfold. In the Greek, this is often translated from "μέν," which is used to assert a statement with confidence. This word sets the tone for the verse, underscoring the divine plan that is being fulfilled. It reminds us of the sovereignty of God and His ultimate control over the unfolding of history, even in the face of human betrayal.

the Son of Man
This title, "the Son of Man," is deeply rooted in the Old Testament, particularly in the book of Daniel 7:13-14, where it describes a messianic figure endowed with authority and glory. In the New Testament, Jesus frequently uses this title to refer to Himself, highlighting both His humanity and His divine mission. It reflects His role as the representative of humanity and the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan. The use of this title here emphasizes Jesus' awareness of His identity and purpose, even as He faces betrayal.

will go
The phrase "will go" indicates movement and purpose. In the Greek, "πορεύεται" suggests a journey or a path that is being followed. This implies that Jesus' path to the cross is not accidental but is a deliberate part of God's redemptive plan. It speaks to the obedience of Christ, who willingly walks the path laid out for Him, fulfilling the prophecies and the will of the Father.

as it has been determined
This phrase underscores the divine foreordination of the events leading to Jesus' crucifixion. The Greek word "ὡρισμένον" (hōrismenon) conveys the idea of something being appointed or decreed. It highlights the theological concept of God's sovereignty and predestination. Despite human actions, God's plan is unthwarted. This assurance provides comfort to believers, knowing that God's purposes will prevail, even in the midst of human sinfulness.

but woe
The word "woe" is a strong expression of lament and warning. In the Greek, "οὐαί" (ouai) is often used by Jesus to pronounce judgment or sorrow. It serves as a solemn warning to the betrayer, indicating the grave consequences of his actions. This word reflects the seriousness of sin and the justice of God, reminding us of the moral responsibility each person bears for their choices.

to that man
This phrase personalizes the warning, directing it specifically to Judas Iscariot, the one who would betray Jesus. It highlights the individual accountability before God. While the betrayal is part of the divine plan, Judas is still responsible for his actions. This serves as a sobering reminder of the personal nature of sin and the need for repentance.

who betrays Him
The act of betrayal is central to this verse. The Greek word "παραδίδωσιν" (paradidōsin) means to hand over or deliver up. It signifies a breach of trust and loyalty. Judas' betrayal is not just a personal failure but a cosmic event that sets in motion the passion of Christ. This phrase calls believers to reflect on their own faithfulness to Christ and the importance of loyalty and integrity in their relationship with Him.

(22) As it was determined.--The word is eminently characteristic of St. Luke. (Comp. Acts 2:23; Acts 10:42; Acts 17:26; Acts 17:31.)

Woe unto that man . . .--As occurring in all the first three Gospels, the words must be noted as among those that had made an indelible impression on those who heard them, and were therefore reproduced verbatim in the midst of many variations on other points of the narrative.

Verse 22. - Woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed! We seem to hear a wailing in this woe, although the denunciation was so firmly pronounced. St. Matthew, in his account, here adds some more words spoken by the Master, "It had been good for that man if he had not been born." Dean Plumptre, on this saying of Christ, very suggestively remarks, "Awful as the words were, they have their bright as well as their dark side. According to the estimate which men commonly form, the words are true of all except these who depart this life in the faith and fear of God. In his applying them to the case of the traitor in its exceptional enormity, there is suggested the thought that for others whose guilt was not like his, existence even in the penal suffering which their sins have brought upon them may be better than never to have been at all."
