Luke 22:22

And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was determined: but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed!

And truly the son of man goeth,.... That is, dies, which is going the way of all the earth, Joshua 23:14

as it was determined; in the counsels and purposes of God, and agreed to by Christ in the covenant of grace; see Acts 2:23 the death of Christ, the manner of it, and the means by which it was brought about, were all predetermined by God; yet this did not, in the least, excuse the sin of those concerned in it, nor exempt them from punishment:

but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed; who not only came to an untimely end, and died an infamous death by his own hands, but went to his own place, the place of everlasting torments allotted him: wherefore in Matthew 26:24 it is added, "it had been good for that man if he had not been born"; See Gill on "Matthew 26:24".
