A Call to Self-Examination
Upon hearing Jesus's announcement, the disciples didn't point fingers but began to question among themselves, showing their shock and concern. Commentators like Spurgeon urge readers to adopt this same posture of humble self-examination. The question isn't just "Who would do this?" but a personal "Could I betray Him?" This leads to a reliance on God's grace, not self-confidence.
