Mateus 26:22 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 26:22

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, is it I?
excepting Judas, who afterwards spoke for himself. This they said, though conscious to themselves the thing had never entered into their hearts; nor had they taken any step towards it, but with their whole souls abhorred it; yet, as knowing the treachery and deceitfulness, of their hearts, which they could not trust to; and fearing lest should they be left thereunto, they might commit such a dreadful iniquity; and as desirous of being cleared by Christ from any such imputation, and even from all suspicion of anything of this kind.

Mateus 26:22 In-Context

20 Ao anoitecer, Jesus estava reclinado à mesa com os Doze.

21 E, enquanto estavam comendo, ele disse: “Digo que certamente um de vocês me trairá”.

22 Eles ficaram muito tristes e começaram a dizer-lhe, um após outro: “Com certeza não sou eu, Senhor!”

23 Afirmou Jesus: “Aquele que comeu comigo do mesmo prato há de me trair.

24 O Filho do homem vai, como está escrito a seu respeito. Mas ai daquele que trai o Filho do homem! Melhor lhe seria não haver nascido”.
