Luke 22:21-23
That betrayeth ( του παραδιδοντος ). Present active participle, actually engaged in doing it. The hand of Judas was resting on the table at the moment. It should be noted that Luke narrates the institution of the Lord's Supper before the exposure of Judas as the traitor while Mark and Matthew reverse this order.As it hath been determined ( κατα το ωρισμενον ). Perfect passive participle of οριζω, to limit or define, mark off the border, our "horizon." But this fact does not absolve Judas of his guilt as the "woe" here makes plain.
Which of them it was ( το τις αρα ειη εξ αυτων ). Note the article το with the indirect question as in verses 2, 4. The optative ειη here is changed from the present active indicative εστιν, though it was not always done, for see δοκε in verse 24 where the present indicative is retained. They all had their hands on the table. Whose hand was it?
