Contextual Overview

21 But behold, the hand of him who is to betray me is on the table. 22 And the Son of man will go, just as he has been destined; but woe to the man by whose hand he will be betrayed! 23 And they began to enquire among themselves, which one of them was to do this act. 24 There was also a dispute among them, as to who is the greatest among them. 25 Jesus said to them, The kings of the Gentiles are also their owners; and those who rule over them are called benefactors. 26 But not so with you; but he who is great among you, let him be the least, and he who is a leader be like a minister. 27 For who is greater, he who sits down or he who serves? Is it not he who sits down? but I am among you as one who serves. 28 You are those who have remained with me, throughout my trials. 29 And I promise you, just as my Father has promised me, a kingdom, 30 That you may eat and drink at the table in my kingdom; and you will sit on chairs, and judge the twelve tribes of Israel.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they began to inquire among themselves,.... Two days before, at the supper in Bethany, when the same thing was hinted to them, they looked at one another, John 13:22 as persons in the utmost surprise and consternation, not being able, for a while, either to speak to Christ, or one another; but now they inquired among themselves, and of Christ likewise, Matthew 26:21

which of them it was that should do this thing; so barbarous, shocking, and horrible.
