Barnes' Notes
Verse 25. Thou hast said. That is, thou hast said the truth. It is so. Thou art the man. Compare Mt 26:64, with Mk 14:62.

Adam Clarke's Commentary
Verse 25 Judas - said, Master, is it I? - What excessive impudence!

It is worthy of remark, that each of the other disciples said κυριε, Lord, is it I? But Judas dares not, or will not, use this august title, but simply says ραββι, Teacher, is it I? Thou hast said - Συ ειπας, or אתון אמריתון atun amaritun, "Ye have said," was a common form of expression for Yes. It Is so. "When the Zipporenses inquired whether Rabbi Judas was dead? the son of Kaphra answered, Ye have said," i.e. He is dead. See Schoettgen. Hor. Hebr. p.
