Mark 14:19

19 They began to be distressed and to say to him one after another, "Surely, not I?"

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 When it was evening, he came with the twelve.
18 And when they had taken their places and were eating, Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me, one who is eating with me."
19 They began to be distressed and to say to him one after another, "Surely, not I?"
20 He said to them, "It is one of the twelve, one who is dipping bread into the bowl with me.
21 For the Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that one by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that one not to have been born."
