Contextual Overview

¹²On the first day of the Flatbread Feast is when the Passover lamb is sacrificed. Jesus's cowboys asked him where he wanted to eat the Passover meal. ¹³He sent a couple of his cowboys to the city and ¹⁴said, "When you get into town, you'll see a man carrying a canteen. Follow him. When he goes into a house, knock on the door and tell the owner, 'The Boss asks, "Which room shall I stay in and eat the Passover meal with my cowboys?"' ¹⁵He will immediately take you upstairs to a large furnished room. Get everything started and the rest of us will be along shortly." ¹⁶The cowboys rode off and found everything just like Jesus said they would. After it happened just like he said it would, they went upstairs and started cooking. ¹⁷When evening arrived, Jesus arrived at the house with the rest of his men, including Judas the Betrayer. ¹⁸While they were eating, Jesus commented, "One of you eating here with me is a double-crosser." ¹⁹You could have heard a pin drop and then one by one, each cowboy said, "It's not me, Boss!" ²⁰Jesus had just sat a bowl down that he had passed around and everyone had dipped their bread into. He said, "The double-crosser has just dipped his hand in the same bowl as I did. ²¹He will betray me because God said it would happen, but it would be better for the double-crossing cur dog if he'd never been born."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And Jesus saith unto them,.... As they were going to the Mount of Olives. The Persic version reads, in this place; meaning the Mount of Olives, having got thither:

all ye shall be offended because of me this night;

:-;

for it is written in Zechariah 13:7,

I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered: Christ is meant by the shepherd, and the apostles by the sheep. The Syriac version reads, "his sheep".

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.
