MARK 14:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.”
While they were reclining at the table eating, Jesus said, truly I tell you, one of you will betray me — one who is eating with me — the announcement of the betrayal at the Passover table is the most intimate possible setting for the most intimate possible betrayal. One of you echoes the Psalms of the betrayed righteous sufferer (Psalm 41:9: even my close friend, someone I trusted, one who shared my bread, has turned against me). One who is eating with me: the table fellowship that Jesus extended to tax collectors and sinners is being violated from within.
