They began to be grieved
The phrase "began to be grieved" captures the immediate emotional response of the disciples upon hearing Jesus' prediction of betrayal. The Greek word used here, "λらむだυうぷしろんπぱいεいぷしろんῖσθαι" (lypeisthai), conveys a deep sorrow or distress. This grief is not just a passing sadness but a profound emotional turmoil, reflecting the disciples' shock and disbelief. Historically, this moment occurs during the Last Supper, a time of intimate fellowship, making the announcement of betrayal even more poignant. The disciples' grief underscores their close relationship with Jesus and their inability to fathom that one among them could betray Him.

and to say to Him one by one
This phrase highlights the personal and individual response of each disciple. The Greek structure suggests a sequential, almost methodical questioning, indicating that each disciple felt compelled to personally seek reassurance from Jesus. This reflects the communal yet personal nature of their relationship with Him. In the context of the Passover meal, a time of unity and shared faith, this individual questioning underscores the gravity of Jesus' statement and the personal introspection it provoked among the disciples.

'Surely not I?'
The question "Surely not I?" is a direct translation of the Greek "Μήτι ἐγώ;" (Mēti egō?), which implies a negative expectation. The disciples are essentially saying, "It can't be me, can it?" This question reveals their inner turmoil and self-doubt. Despite their close walk with Jesus, they are aware of their human frailty and the possibility of failure. This moment is a powerful reminder of the need for self-examination and humility in the Christian life. Theologically, it points to the universal potential for sin and the necessity of relying on God's grace to remain faithful. The disciples' question is both a plea for reassurance and an acknowledgment of their vulnerability, setting the stage for the events that will soon unfold in the Passion narrative.

Verse 19. - They began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? The disciples were naturally disposed to be joyful at this great festival. But their Master's sorrow and his words, and the solemnity with which they were uttered, cast a shadow over the whole company; and the disciples began to be sorrowful. The words, "And another said, Is it I?" are omitted by the best authorities.
