This moment occurs during the Last Supper, a significant event in the Passion narrative. The setting is Jerusalem, during the Passover, a time of remembrance for the Israelites' deliverance from Egypt. The disciples' grief is compounded by the realization that one among them would betray their beloved teacher, fulfilling the prophecy of <a href="/psalms/41-9.htm">Psalm 41:9</a>, which speaks of betrayal by a close friend. This grief also foreshadows the sorrow that will envelop them during Jesus' crucifixion.<p><b>and to ask Him one after another</b><br>The phrase indicates a sense of urgency and personal introspection among the disciples. Each disciple questions Jesus individually, highlighting their concern and fear of being the betrayer. This moment underscores the close-knit nature of the group and their inability to comprehend that one of their own could commit such an act. The repetitive questioning also reflects the communal aspect of their relationship with Jesus, as they seek reassurance from Him directly. This scene parallels the communal questioning seen in other biblical narratives, such as the Israelites questioning Moses in the wilderness.<p><b>“Surely not I?”</b><br>This question reveals the disciples' self-doubt and the gravity of Jesus' announcement. The phrase "Surely not I?" is a rhetorical question, expressing disbelief and a plea for affirmation. It demonstrates the disciples' awareness of human frailty and sinfulness, echoing the biblical theme of self-examination found in passages like <a href="/2_corinthians/13-5.htm">2 Corinthians 13:5</a>. The question also highlights the tension between divine foreknowledge and human free will, as each disciple grapples with the possibility of being the betrayer. This moment serves as a reminder of the need for vigilance and faithfulness in the Christian life, as even those closest to Jesus are susceptible to failure.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a></b><br>The central figure of the passage, who is sharing the Last Supper with His disciples and has just revealed that one of them will betray Him.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_disciples.htm">The Disciples</a></b><br>The twelve followers of Jesus who are present at the Last Supper.
