Context of Mark 14:21
19And they began to be sorrowful, and to say to him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I? 20And he answered and said to them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish. The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written concerning him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born. 22And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and broke it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body. 23And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.

- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 21will go just as it is written about Him: See, for example, Isaiah 52:13–53:12. Jesus knew ahead of time that this betrayal would happen as part of God’s plan (compare 8:31–33). But God condemned the one who betrayed him.

Yet both truths are clearly affirmed (see John 19:11).Read the comment
