Matthew 26:22
“They were exceedingly sorrowful, and each began to ask him, “It isn’t me, is it, Lord?””
What does Matthew 26:22 mean?
Jesus has just announced that one of his twelve closest friends will betray him, and the disciples are devastated. Each one immediately questions whether *he* might be the guilty one, not because they're suspicious of each other, but because they're gripped by uncertainty about their own hearts and loyalty. In that moment of shock, they're humble enough to consider: could I be capable of this? It's a raw, human response to betrayal, showing both their love for Jesus and their honest self-doubt. Their distress reveals how deeply they cared and how seriously they took their commitment to him.
