Mark 14:19 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:19

And they began to be sorrowful
And were so, all but Judas, at this saying of Christ's:

and to say unto him, one by one;
even till it came to Judas himself,

is it I?
that shall betray thee;

and another said, is it I?
This clause is wanting in the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Arabic, Persic, and Ethiopic versions, and in two of Beza's copies; and indeed seems to be redundant, since the disciples are said before to express themselves in this manner, one by one; (See Gill on Matthew 26:22).

Mark 14:19 In-Context

17 In the evening He came with the twelve.

18 Now as they sat and ate, Jesus said, "Assuredly, I say to you, one of you who eats with Me will betray Me."

19 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to Him one by one, "Is it I?" And another said, "Is it I?"

20 He answered and said to them, "It is one of the twelve, who dips with Me in the dish.

21 The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had never been born."
