SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 13:21–30: Jesus predicted that someone would betray him

In this section Jesus told his disciples that one of them would betray him. The disciples wondered who he meant. Jesus showed them by giving a piece of bread to Judas. Judas then left the room.

Here are some other possible section headings:

Jesus predicted that one of his disciples would betray him

Jesus knew one of his disciples would oppose him

Paragraph 13:21–30

The Jewish custom at meals was to have several couches arranged in a U-shape around the table. The guests reclined (leaned) on the couches around the table, leaning on their left elbow. Jesus was probably in the center, and John was on Jesus’ right. In this paragraph Peter told John to ask Jesus who would betray him. Jesus said that the person to whom he gave bread would be the one who would betray him. He gave the bread to Judas.

13:22a

The disciples looked at one another,

Jesus’ disciples looked at each other in confusion.
The disciples stared at one another.

The disciples looked at one another: This clause indicates what Jesus’ disciples did while they wondered whom he was talking about (13:22b). Translate disciples as you did in 13:5b. In some languages it may be natural to make it explicit that these were Jesus’ disciples. For example:

His disciples stared at one another (NIV)

13:22b

perplexed as to which of them He meant.

They wondered whom Jesus was talking about.
They did not know which of them Jesus meant.

perplexed as to which of them He meant: The Greek word that the BSB translates as perplexed means “not sure, anxious, confused.” This phrase indicates what Jesus’ disciples were thinking and feeling after he said that one of them would betray him. They did not know which of them he was referring to. Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

wondering which one of them Jesus meant (GW)

worried and perplexed to know which of them he was talking about (NET)

confused about what he meant (CEV)

not understanding at all whom he was talking about

General Comment on 13:22a–b

In some languages it may be natural to translate 13:22b as a quotation (direct or indirect) of the disciples’ thoughts. For example:

The disciples looked at each other in confusion: which of them could he mean?

The disciples stared at one another. They asked themselves, “Who is he talking about?”
