John 13:28 Meaning and Commentary

John 13:28

Now no man at the table
Not one of those who lay upon the couches at the table, excepting John, to whom the signal was given:

knew for what intent he spake this unto him;
and perhaps he might not know the meaning of his last words, that he spoke concerning the act of betraying him; nor did not imagine that the thing was so near and so speedily to be done, as it was.

John 13:28 In-Context

26 Jesus answered, "It's the one to whom I will give this piece of bread once I have dipped into the bowl."Then he dipped the piece of bread and gave it to Judas, Simon Iscariot's son.

27 After Judas took the bread, Satan entered into him. Jesus told him, "What you are about to do, do quickly."

28 No one sitting at the table understood why Jesus said this to him.

29 Some thought that, since Judas kept the money bag, Jesus told him, "Go, buy what we need for the feast," or that he should give something to the poor.

30 So when Judas took the bread, he left immediately. And it was night.
