Matthew 26:25 meaning

In this poignant moment, Jesus predicts His betrayal, and Judas Iscariot, one of His closest followers, hypocritically inquires if he is the one who will betray Jesus. This dramatic exchange underscores the depth of Judas's deception and the betrayal’s tragic implications. Judas, despite having shared in the intimate fellowship of the Last Supper, reveals his insincerity as he uses the respectful title "Rabbi" instead of "Lord," indicating a shift in his view of Jesus. The others present do not suspect him, illustrating the depth of Judas's duplicity.
