John 13:22

"When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”"

Key Reflection

Jesus' declaration that one of his disciples would betray him caused deep spiritual anguish, reflecting both his human empathy with the gravity of betrayal and his divine foreknowledge, emphasizing the inevitability and significance of Judas' actions in the unfolding narrative of salvation. This moment foreshadows the profound sacrifice he was about to make for humanity.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 22. Doubting of whom, &c. The word translated doubting denotes that kind of anxiety which a man feels when he is in perplexity, and knows not what to say or do. We should say they were at a loss. See Barnes "Mt 26:22". __________________________________________________________________
