Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible

Mark 14:42

“Arise, let us advance to meet them, look, he who betrays me is at hand.”

Through His long battle He had prepared Himself to meet them. He had sought to prepare His disciples too. Now they must not be caught at a disadvantage. They must advance to meet the enemy. The verb is regularly used of the advance of troops.

‘Look. He who betrays me is at hand.' The moment of truth has now arrived. All will now know the identity of the traitor. Could they even believe what would be before their eyes. They must have asked, ‘Surely not Judas?'
