Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

When they had sung a hymn. Our three Evangelists leave out those divine discourses, [1] which John relates to have been delivered by our Lord, both in the house and on the road. For, as we have elsewhere stated, their object was rather to embrace the history of our Lord's actions than his doctrine. They glance only at the fact, that he went out of his own accord where Judas was to come; and their object is to inform us that he made such an arrangement of his time, as willingly to meet him who betrayed him.

1 - "Ces beaux propos pleins de majest, divine;" -- "those beautiful discourses, full of divine majesty."

And when they had sung an hymn,.... The Hallell, used at the passover:
they went out into the Mount of Olives; Christ, and eleven of his disciples; for Judas now separated from them, and went to the chief priests to acquaint them how things were, where Jesus was going, and where they might apprehend him; See Gill on Matthew 26:30.
