THE TRAITOR INDICATED--HE LEAVES THE SUPPER ROOM. (Joh 13:21-30)
When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, One of you shall betray me--The announcement of Joh 13:18 seems not to have been plain enough to be quite apprehended, save by the traitor himself. He will therefore speak it out in terms not to be misunderstood. But how much it cost Him to do this, appears from the "trouble" that came over His "spirit"--visible emotion, no doubt--before He got it uttered. What wounded susceptibility does this disclose, and what exquisite delicacy in His social intercourse with the Twelve, to whom He cannot, without an effort, break the subject! |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
Troubled in spirit - See Joh 12:27. The reason of his trouble here was that Judas, a professed friend, was about to betray him. He doubtless foresaw the deep and dreadful sorrows of his approaching death, and was also deeply affected with the ingratitude and wickedness of a professed friend. Jesus was man as well as God, and he felt like other men. His human nature shrank from suffering, and his tender sensibilities were affected not less deeply than would be those of other men by baseness and treason.
Testified - He bore witness to the truth; openly declared what he had before intimated - that one of them would betray him. |

Was troubled in Spirit
See on Joh 11:33; see on Joh 12:27. The agitation was in the highest region of the spiritual life (πνεῦμα).
One of you shall betray me
So Matthew and Mark, with the addition of, who eateth with me. Luke, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| One of you - The speaking thus indefinitely at first was profitable to them all. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
Was troubled in spirit - See the note on Joh 11:33.
And testified - Spoke with great earnestness.
Shall betray me - Παραδωσει με, Will deliver me up. Judas had already betrayed our blessed Lord, and he was now on the point of delivering him up into the hands of the chief priests. By all these warnings, did not our Lord intend that Judas should be benefited? - that he should repent of his iniquity, and turn and find mercy? |
18 I speak [3004] not [3756] of [4012] you [5216] all [3956]: I [1473] know [1492] whom [3739] I have chosen [1586]: but [235] that [2443] the scripture [1124] may be fulfilled [4137], He that eateth [5176] bread [740] with [3326] me [1700] hath lifted up [1869] his [846] heel [4418] against [1909] me [1691].
21 When Jesus [2424] had [2036] thus [5023] said [2036], he was troubled [5015] in spirit [4151], and [2532] testified [3140], and [2532] said [2036], Verily [281], verily [281], I say [3004] unto you [5213], that [3754] one [1520] of [1537] you [5216] shall betray [3860] me [3165].
22 Then [3767] the disciples [3101] looked [991] one on another [1519] [240], doubting [639] of [4012] whom [5101] he spake [3004].
23 Now [1161] there was [2258] leaning [345] on [1722] Jesus [2424]' bosom [2859] one [1520] of his [846] disciples [3101], whom [3739] Jesus [2424] loved [25].
24 Simon [4613] Peter [4074] therefore [3767] beckoned [3506] to him [5129], that he should ask [4441] who [5101] it should [302] be [1498] of [4012] whom [3739] he spake [3004].
25 He [1565] then [1161] lying on [1968] [1909] Jesus [2424]' breast [4738] saith [3004] unto him [846], Lord [2962], who [5101] is it [2076]?
26 Jesus [2424] answered [611], He [1565] it is [2076], to whom [3739] I shall give [1929] a sop [5596], when I [1473] have dipped [911] it. And [2532] when he had dipped [1686] the sop [5596], he gave [1325] it to Judas [2455] Iscariot [2469], the son of Simon [4613].
27 And [2532] after [3326] the sop [5596] [5119] Satan [4567] entered [1525] into [1519] him [1565]. Then [3767] said [3004] Jesus [2424] unto him [846], That [3739] thou doest [4160], do [4160] quickly [5032].
28 Now [1161] no man [3762] at the table [345] knew [1097] for what [4314] intent [5101] he spake [2036] this [5124] unto him [846].
29 For [1063] some [5100] of them thought [1380], because [1893] Judas [2455] had [2192] the bag [1101], that [3754] Jesus [2424] had said [3004] unto him [846], Buy [59] those things that [3739] we have [2192] need of [5532] against [1519] the feast [1859]; or [2228], that [2443] he should give [1325] something [5100] to the poor [4434].
30 He [1565] then [3767] having received [2983] the sop [5596] went [1831] immediately [2112] out [1831]: and [1161] it was [2258] night [3571].
27 Now [3568] is [5015] my [3450] soul [5590] troubled [5015]; and [2532] what [5101] shall I say [2036]? Father [3962], save [4982] me [3165] from [1537] this [5026] hour [5610]: but [235] for this [5124] cause [1223] came I [2064] unto [1519] this [5026] hour [5610].
27 Now [3568] is [5015] my [3450] soul [5590] troubled [5015]; and [2532] what [5101] shall I say [2036]? Father [3962], save [4982] me [3165] from [1537] this [5026] hour [5610]: but [235] for this [5124] cause [1223] came I [2064] unto [1519] this [5026] hour [5610].
33 When [5613] Jesus [2424] therefore [3767] saw [1492] her [846] weeping [2799], and [2532] the Jews [2453] also weeping [2799] which came [4905] with her [846], he groaned [1690] in the spirit [4151], and [2532] was troubled [5015] [1438],
33 When [5613] Jesus [2424] therefore [3767] saw [1492] her [846] weeping [2799], and [2532] the Jews [2453] also weeping [2799] which came [4905] with her [846], he groaned [1690] in the spirit [4151], and [2532] was troubled [5015] [1438],
