John Gill
And they were exceeding sorrowful,.... Partly that Christ should be betrayed at all, into the hands of his enemies, by whom they knew he would be ill used; and partly, that so vile an action should be done, by one from among themselves; and greatly, because they knew not, nor could not conceive, who of them could be guilty of such an horrid sin: and began everyone of them to say unto him, Lord,...
Matthew Henry
The narrative of the death and sufferings of Christ is more particularly and fully recorded by all the four evangelists than any part of his history; for what should be determine, and desire to know, but Christ, and him crucified? And this chapter begins that memorable narrative. The year of the redeemed was now come, the seventy weeks determined were now accomplished, when transgression must be...

6, 7. Now when Jesus was in Bethany, in the house of Simon the leper, There came unto him a woman having an alabaster box of very precious ointment, and poured it on his head, as he sat at meat. This is not the woman who anointed Christ’s feet with ointment, but another of the holy women who ministered to him. I believe this was Mary, the sister of Lazarus, who came to Jesus, “having an alabaster...
Charles H. Spurgeon
And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I? That short sentence fell like a bomb-shell among the Saviour’s bodyguard. It startled them; they had all made great professions of affection for him, and, for the most part, those professions were true. And they were exceeding sorrowful: and well they might be. Such a revelation was enough to produce...
Charles H. Spurgeon
Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve. And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. And they were exceeding sorrowful, And well might they be sad.
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!
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 there was not one of them who could have thought...
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 thing as that, I am sure.” Ah, me! If grace were...
Charles H. Spurgeon
Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the Passover? And he said, Go into the city to such a man, and say unto him, The Master saith, My time is at hand; I will keep the Passover, at thy house with my disciples. And the disciples did as Jesus had appointed them; and they made ready the...
Charles H. Spurgeon
And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me. And they were exceeding sorrowful, — There was enough to make them sorrowful in the fact that their Lord had just told them that one of the twelve who were his body-guard, his closest companions, his nearest and dearest friends, would betray him. “They were exceeding sorrowful,” —
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 caution in it.
