Contextual Overview

12 On the first day of unleavened bread, on which the Jews sacrifice the passover, his disciples said to him, Where do you wish that we go and prepare the passover for you to eat? 13 And he sent two of his disciples, and said to them, Go to the city, and behold you will meet a man carrying a vessel of water; follow him. 14 And wherever he enters, say to the owner of the house, Our master says, Where is the guestchamber, where I may eat the passover with my disciples? 15 And he will show you a large upper room furnished and prepared; there make ready for us. 16 And his disciples went out and came to the city, and they found just as he had told them; and they prepared the passover. 17 And when it was evening, he came with his twelve. 18 And when they were reclining and eating, Jesus said, Truly I say to you, One of you who eats with me, he will betray me. 19 They began to feel troubled, and said to him one by one, Why, is it I? 20 But he said to them, One of the twelve who dips with me in the dish. 21 The Son of man will go, as it is written of him; but woe to the man by whose hand the Son of man is betrayed! It would have been far better for that man never to have been born.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

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;

:-.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

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

Mark 14:31

More vehemently - More earnestly, more confidently.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 19. And another said, Is it I? — This clause is wanting in BCLP, seventeen others, Syriac, Persic, Arabic, Coptic, AEthiopic, Vulgate, and four of the Itala. Griesbach leaves it doubtful: others leave it out.
