When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, That one of you shall betray me. The announcement of John 13:18 seems not to have been plain enough to be quite apprehended, except by the traitor himself. He will therefore speak it out in terms not to be misunderstood. But how much it cost Him to do this, appears from the "trouble" that came over His "spirit" - visible emotion, no doubt-before He got it uttered. What wounded susceptibility does this disclose, and what exquisite delicacy in His social conversation with the Twelve, to whom He cannot, without an effort, break the subject!
