Mark 14:20 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:20

And he answered and said unto them
In order to relieve their minds, and point out the particular person:

it is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish;
just at that very instant; (See Gill on Matthew 26:23).

Mark 14:20 In-Context

18 As they were at the table eating, Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, one of you eating with me here will betray me.”
19 Greatly distressed, each one asked in turn, “Am I the one?”
20 He replied, “It is one of you twelve who is eating from this bowl with me.
21 For the Son of Man must die, as the Scriptures declared long ago. But how terrible it will be for the one who betrays him. It would be far better for that man if he had never been born!”
22 As they were eating, Jesus took some bread and blessed it. Then he broke it in pieces and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take it, for this is my body.”
