Matthew Poole and continuators on John 13:21

21 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 .

How, and in what sense trouble of Spirit could agree to Christ, was noted before, Chap. 12.27. (see the notes on that Text) this seemeth to have been rather a trouble of grief, that one of his Apostles, one whom he had chosen, should commit so great a villany, than arising from fear of Death.

For his next words are a further discovery of the person that should betray him: he had said before, that he should be betrayed, and that it should be by one that used to eat bread with him: but now he cometh closer, and tells them that it should be by one of them, that is one of the twelve; this was a closer discovery than he had as yet made.
