MATTHEW 26:22 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And they were exceeding sorrowful, and began every one of them to say unto him, Lord, is it I?”
And they were greatly distressed and began to say to him one after another: is it I, Lord? The disciples' distress — not suspicion of one another but self-examination — produces the one-after-another questioning: is it I, Lord? The question communicates genuine self-doubt: each disciple acknowledges the possibility that they are capable of the betrayal. The Lord address communicates the disciples' continuing recognition of Jesus' authority.
