What Does Luke 22:23 Mean?
The announcement lands like a stone in still water. No one points at Judas - he had hidden his treachery that well. Instead each man searches the circle, and Matthew records them asking one by one, 'Lord, is it I?' (Matthew 26:22).
There is something healthy in their unease. They do not first audit one another; they wonder about themselves. Self-examination belongs at the Lord's table - 'let a man examine himself' (1 Corinthians 11:28) - not as morbid anxiety but as honesty before the One who knows us. The right response to a warning from Jesus is never 'surely he means someone else.'
