Commentators explain that the disciples' reaction was not suspicion but complete bewilderment. They were 'at a loss' (Barnes, Robertson), looking at each other in astonishment because Judas had hidden his intentions so well that no one suspected him (Gill). Their shared glance reveals their collective shock and innocence in the face of Jesus's startling announcement.
