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:

Mark 14:20 In-Context

18 And while they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, one of you who is eating with Me will betray Me.”

19 They began to be grieved and to ask Him one after another, “Surely not I?”

20 He answered, “It is one of the Twelve—the one who is dipping his hand into the bowl with Me.

21 The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”

22 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to the disciples, saying, “Take it; this is My body.”
