The Betrayer Exposed

Matthew 26:20-25

When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve. And while they were eating, he said, "Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me." They were very sad and began to say to him one after the other, "Surely you don’t mean me, Lord?" Jesus replied, "The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me. The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born." Then Judas, the one who would betray him, said, "Surely you don’t mean me, Rabbi?" Jesus answered, "You have said so.” (NIVUK)

The Passover celebration was a family meal, and it was in that style that Jesus ate the Last Supper. Although the traditional formality of the Passover order of service focussed their minds on being grateful to God for His goodness, it was combined with informal domestic conversation. As they were relaxing, Jesus caught them by surprise, saying that His betrayer was sitting at the table with Him. It was a shock. Each one of the twelve disciples, realising something of the unreliability of their own heart, asked Jesus if they would be the culprit.
