Dear Waterrock
I was recently reading your response to Matthew 26:63-64 and in particular your explanation for the meaning of the phrase "Thou hast said". You have indicated that it means "It is as you say".
The same phrase "Thou hast said", and no doubt having the same meaning as indicated by you, namely "It is as you say", is used in several translated versions of Matthew 26:25. I believe that I am right in thinking that Matthew 26:20-26 is significant in that Jesus (peace be upon him) states an extremely important event that is to take place, namely the betrayel of Jesus (peace be upon him) by Judas.
However, when Jesus (peace be upon him) states that "It is as you say" i.e. that you are the one that will betray me, despite the fact that the others are stunned, deeply grieved, exceedingly pained or exceedingly sorrowful by this statement by Jesus (peace be upon him), when it is said that "it is as you say", the next verse, namely Matthew 26:26 goes on to when they are eating.
In other words even though the disciples are no doubt extremely worried about this betrayel that will take place by one of them and even though Jesus (peace be upon him) says to Judas "It is as you say" i.e. "Thou hast said" as in the translated versions, this is of no significance to them in that the next verse simply refers to their eating.
Presumably if Jesus (peace be upon him) said "It is as you say" when Judas says "Master, Is it I?" and Jesus (Peace be upon him) replies "Thou hast said" (which means "It is as you say") then no doubt the other disciples would have taken some action rather than carry on with their supper or did the fact that Judas was to betray and they just merely carried on having their meal.
My own belief is that if something as significant as a betrayel of Jesus (peace be upon him) would have led to other events taking place.
Can you please explain why this is the case.
P.S. Sorry about the long windedness in getting to the question!!
