What Does Matthew 26:22 Mean?
The announcement lands like a stone. Exceeding sorrowful, the disciples respond one by one, each with the same trembling question: Lord, is it I? No one points at a neighbor; each looks inward.
Their question is the right one. Honest hearts hear a word of warning and search themselves before suspecting others. Eleven of them feared a treachery they would never commit. The safest place for any disciple is the humble self-distrust that runs to the Lord, not the confidence that needs no examination.
