Contextual Overview

12 And on the first day of the feast of Unleavened Bread, when they sacrificed the Passover lamb, his disciples said to him, "Where do you want us to go and prepare, so that you can eat the Passover?" 13 And he sent two of his disciples and said to them, "Go into the city and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him, 14 and wherever he enters, say to the master of the house, ‘The Teacher says, "Where is my guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?"' 15 And he will show you a large upstairs room furnished and ready, and prepare for us there." 16 And the disciples went out and came into the city and found everything just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover. 17 And when it was evening, he arrived with the twelve. 18 And while they were reclining at table and eating, Jesus said, "Truly I say to you, that one of you who is eating with me will betray me." 19 They began to be distressed and to say to him one by one, "Surely not I?" 20 But he said to them, "It is one of the twelve—the one who is dipping bread into the bowl with me. 21 For the Son of Man is going just as it is written about him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for him if that man had not 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.
