Yeah, you're remembering correctly! It would make more sense if the apostles were the ones expressing surprise. If anyone wants to read about it, Matthew 26:17-35 is the account.
From my studies, again, not a member of the faith, just educated in it, Matthew desired to build the early Christian community and leaned into stories like this of the people coming together over Jesus teachings. Kinda interesting the slant here then, imo, when you consider that. Yeah boys, let's break bread, but there is a snitch ass bitch amongst us trying to bring this good thing to an end.
As an aside and from purely anecdotal, personal experience, it seems that studying the Bible and faith too closely (and particularly the history) is a great way to stop being a member of the faith if you ever were.
It's important to note that the gospels were written like a century after the people they're named for died.
