Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I? What anguish does that question always stir within the heart and mind of every true believer! “Shall I ever betray my Lord and Master? Shall I every deny or forsake him?” God grant that none of us may ever do as Judas did!
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it? They did not doubt their Lord’s declaration, they knew it must be true; and it produced in them deep emotion: “They were exceeding sorrowful.” It also wrought in them earnest self-examination; they did not any one of them say, “Lord, is it Judas?” Perhaps...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I? The habit of self-suspicion, rather than suspecting somebody else, is a good one. If there is anyone in this place who is going to commit a gross sin, why may it not be myself? The natural tendency of each one of us is to say, “I shall never do such a...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I? It shows a beautiful trait in their character that they did not suspect one another, and least of all, I suppose, did they suspect Judas; but each one asked, “Lord, is it I?” It is an admirable way of hearing a sermon to take it home to yourself, especially if there be a rebuke or a...

And he answered and said,.... In order to make them easy, and point out the betrayer to them, he that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. This seems to refer to the dipping of the unleavened bread, or bitter herbs, both, into the sauce called "Charoseth", which the Jews (z) say, "was made of figs, nuts, almonds, and...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me. He who had been entrusted with the charge of the finances of the little band of Christ’s immediate disciples, he who carried the bag, was the one who was about to betray his Lord. Since then, Christ has often been betrayed by those who have been in...

Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said. “It is even so,” With a sorrowful gesture, he made it plain to his sad little circle of friends and followers that he knew all that was going to happen, and that Judas was the man who was going to turn traitor.
John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
The son of man goeth,.... Meaning himself, not to the Mount of Olives, or Gethsemane, or the garden, whither he went a little after this, but out of the world, to his Father: the phrase is expressive of his death, as in Joshua 23:14, and denotes the voluntariness of it, and which is no ways inconsistent with the divine determinations about it: nor...

Then Judas, which betrayed him,.... Or that was about to betray him, as the Ethiopic version reads it: he had taken a step towards it, was seeking an opportunity to do it, and at length effected it: the Persic version reads, Judas Iscariot; who after all the rest had put the question, answered and said, Master, is it I? Who though he knew what he...

Then Judas which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.

Judas did not address Christ as “Lord,” as the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said. And if he had not been a hopeless reprobate, this unmasking of him ought to have driven him to repentance. A man may secretly indulge in his heart a wretched design, and, when discovered, he may loathe it; but, alas! there was nothing in Judas...
