This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

23. συνζητεῖν πρὸς ἑαυτούς. The pathetic details are given by St John. It is characteristic of their noble, simple, loving natures that they seem to have had no suspicions of Judas.

τὸ τίς ἄρα εἴη. ‘The (question) who it could possibly be.’ See note on Luk 15:26, Luk 18:36.

τοῦτο. I.e. τὸ παραδιδόναι. The position of the word before the verb gives it the emphasis of horror, and the character of the deed is connoted, as is sometimes the case in classical Greek, by the verb πράσσειν.
