And while they were reclining and eating
In the context of the Last Supper, the disciples and Jesus are partaking in a Passover meal, a significant Jewish tradition commemorating the Israelites' deliverance from Egypt. Reclining at the table was customary during this time, symbolizing freedom and relaxation, contrasting with the haste of the original Passover meal in Egypt. This setting underscores the gravity of the moment, as Jesus shares this meal with His closest followers.

Jesus said
Jesus often used meals as teaching moments, and His words here are both a revelation and a prophecy. His authority is evident as He speaks, and His foreknowledge of events highlights His divine nature. This moment is pivotal, as it sets the stage for the unfolding of His betrayal and crucifixion.

Truly I tell you
The phrase "Truly I tell you" is a solemn affirmation, often used by Jesus to emphasize the importance and truth of His statements. It indicates that what follows is of great significance and should be heeded carefully by the disciples.

one of you who is eating with Me
This phrase highlights the intimacy and trust within the group, as sharing a meal was a sign of fellowship and friendship. The betrayal by one who is part of this close circle is particularly poignant and underscores the theme of betrayal by a trusted friend, as prophesied in Psalm 41:9.

will betray Me
The act of betrayal is central to the Passion narrative. Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve disciples, is the one who will betray Jesus, fulfilling the prophecy and setting in motion the events leading to the crucifixion. This betrayal is a critical element in the divine plan for redemption, as it leads to Jesus' sacrificial death, which is central to Christian theology.

Persons / Places / Events
1. Jesus
The central figure of the New Testament, the Son of God, who is foretelling His betrayal during the Last Supper.

2. The Disciples
The twelve followers of Jesus who are present with Him during the Last Supper. One of them is identified as the betrayer.

3. The Last Supper
The final meal Jesus shares with His disciples before His crucifixion, held in Jerusalem.

4. Jerusalem
The city where the Last Supper takes place, significant in Jewish history and prophecy.

5. Betrayal
The act of treachery that Jesus predicts, which will lead to His arrest and crucifixion.
Teaching Points
The Certainty of Prophecy
Jesus' prediction of His betrayal underscores the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies and God's sovereign plan.

The Nature of Betrayal
Betrayal often comes from those closest to us, as seen in Judas' actions. This calls for vigilance and discernment in our relationships.

Self-Examination
The disciples' reaction to Jesus' statement ("Is it I?") encourages believers to examine their own hearts and motives.

The Cost of Discipleship
Following Jesus involves trials and challenges, including facing betrayal and opposition.

God's Redemptive Plan
Despite human treachery, God's plan for salvation through Jesus' sacrifice remains unthwarted.(18) As they sat.--Better, as they reclined.

Verse 18. - Verily I say unto you, One of you shall betray me, even he that eateth with me (ὁ ἐσθίων μετ ἐμοῦ). Much had doubtless happened before our Lord said this; but St. Mark only records the important circumstances. These words of our Lord were uttered with great solemnity. The presence of the traitor was a burden upon his spirit, and cast a gloom over this usually joyous festival. A question here arises whether Judas remained to partake of the Holy Communion when our Lord instituted it. The greater number of the Fathers, and amongst them Origen, St. Cyril, St. Chrysostom, St. Augustine, and Bede, consider that he was present; and Dionysius says that our Lord's words to him, "That thou doest, do quickly," were intended to separate him from the rest of the twelve as one who had partaken unworthily; and that then it was that Satan entered into him, and impelled him onwards to this terrible sin.
