Contextual Overview

12On the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, when the Passover lamb was to be sacrificed, Jesus' disciples asked Him, "Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?" 13So He sent two of His disciples and told them, "Go into the city, and a man carrying a jug of water will meet you. Follow him, 14and whichever house he enters, say to the owner, 'The Teacher asks: Where is My guest room, where I may eat the Passover with My disciples?' 15And he will show you a large upper room, furnished and ready. Make preparations for us there." 16So the disciples left and went into the city, where they found everything as Jesus had described. And they prepared the Passover. 17When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve. 18And while they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, one of you who is eating with Me will betray Me." 19They began to be grieved and to ask Him one after another, "Surely not I?" 20He answered, "It is one of the Twelve-the one who is dipping his bread into the bowl with Me. 21The 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."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But he spake the more vehemently,.... With a louder voice; with more spirit and eagerness; in a more peremptory and self-confident way.

If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. The Syriac version adds, "O my Lord", my dear Lord, I will never deny thee upon any consideration whatever; and the Persic version, O Lord:

likewise also said they all; as he said, so said "all the disciples", as the Syriac version reads it; :-.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See this passage explained in the notes at Matthew 26:20-35.
