|Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
|Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
|So Jesus said to the Twelve, "Will you also leave me?"
|So Jesus said to the Twelve, "You don't want to leave too, do you?"

|Here, Jesus is not asking what they WILL do, He is asking what they WANT to do: He is asking about their heart, and what they believe. Greek has a construction called the "Rhetorical question." It can be constructed to assume a "yes," or a "no," and the reader can tell what the assumed answer is from the construction of the question. Here, Jesus uses the construction that assumes a "no" answer to His question. Thus, when Jesus asked the question, the way He constructed it told them that He wanted them to answer with a "no."
