John 13
1. Jesus washes the disciples' feet, and exhorts them to humility and charity.
18. He foretells and discovers to John by a token, that Judas should betray him;
31. commands them to love one another;
36. and forewarns Peter of his denials.














Jesus answered
In this phrase, we see the direct response of Jesus to a question posed by His disciples. The Greek word for "answered" is "ἀπεκρίθη" (apekrithē), which implies a response to a query or a situation. This highlights Jesus' role as a teacher and leader, providing clarity and guidance to His followers. In the context of the Last Supper, His answer is not just informative but also prophetic, revealing the fulfillment of Scripture and the unfolding of God's divine plan.

It is the one
This phrase indicates specificity and certainty. Jesus is not ambiguous about the identity of His betrayer. The Greek word "ἐκεῖνός" (ekeinos) is used here, emphasizing a particular individual among the group. This reflects the omniscience of Christ, who knows the hearts and intentions of all men, as seen throughout the Gospels.

to whom I give this morsel
The "morsel" refers to a piece of bread, a common element in Jewish meals. The act of giving a morsel was a gesture of friendship and honor in the cultural context of the time. The Greek word "ψωμίον" (psōmion) is used, which can mean a small piece or fragment of bread. This act of giving the morsel to Judas is deeply symbolic, as it contrasts the outward sign of friendship with the inner reality of betrayal.

after I have dipped it
Dipping the morsel was part of the traditional Passover meal. The Greek word "βάψας" (bapsas) means to dip or immerse. This action is significant because it ties the event to the Passover, a time of remembrance and deliverance for the Jewish people. It also foreshadows the sacrificial nature of Jesus' impending crucifixion, as the Passover lamb was a symbol of atonement and redemption.

Then He dipped the morsel
This phrase shows the deliberate and intentional action of Jesus. The repetition of the act of dipping emphasizes its importance. Jesus is fully aware of the significance of His actions and their implications. This moment is a turning point in the narrative, marking the beginning of the end of His earthly ministry.

and gave it to Judas
The act of giving the morsel to Judas is both an act of love and a fulfillment of prophecy. Judas, whose name in Hebrew means "praise," ironically becomes the instrument of betrayal. This moment is a poignant reminder of the complexity of human free will and divine sovereignty. Jesus' action is a final offer of grace to Judas, even as He acknowledges the path Judas has chosen.

son of Simon Iscariot
This designation identifies Judas specifically, distinguishing him from other individuals named Judas in the New Testament. "Iscariot" likely refers to his place of origin, possibly Kerioth in Judea. This detail underscores the historical and personal reality of the events, reminding readers that these were real people in a real time and place. Judas' lineage and background are part of the tapestry of God's redemptive history, illustrating how God can work through even the most tragic circumstances to accomplish His purposes.

(26) He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it.--The better reading is probably, He it is for whom I shall dip the morsel and give it to him; but the change does not affect the sense. The pronouns are emphatic. "He it is for whom I . . ."The word "morsel" or "sop" occurs in the New Testament only in this context. The meaning is illustrated by the use in the LXX. in Ruth 2:14 ("Come thou hither, and thou shalt eat of the bread and dip thy morsel in the vinegar"); and Job 31:17 ("And if I ate my morsel alone, and did not impart it to the orphan"). The cognate verb occurs twice in the New Testament--Romans 12:20 and 1Corinthians 13:3. (See Notes on these passages.) The original root of the word means "to rub." Hence it is "anything rubbed or broken off." It was often used for a mouthful just like "morsel," which means literally, a little bite. As used here, the word means any portion of food. The general explanation that the morsel was dipped in the Charosheth (comp. Note on Matthew 26:28) implies that this supper was the Paschal Supper. (See Excursus F: The Day of the Crucifixion of our Lord.)

Our Lord would preside at the meal, and distribute to each guest his portion. When John asked the question, He was about to give the morsel to Judas. He avoids the name, and makes the act which He is about to perform convey the answer to the question. That act is the token of friendship and love which even now would redeem the heart full of treachery, if that heart would but receive it. (Comp. John 13:18.) . . .

Verse 26. - Jesus (then) answered - "then," οϋν, is introduced by the modern editors, as well as βάψω for βάψας - He it is for whom I shall dip the sop (or, morsel), and give it him; so (καὶ ἐμβάψας is exchanged, on very strong authority, into βάψας οϋν, and ἐπιδώσω into δώσω) when he had dipped the sop, he taketh and giveth it to Judas the son of Simon, the Iscariot. The ψωμίον was the morsel of meat or bread dipped into the charoseth, a mead of wine and fruit used at the Paschal meal. The usage is illustrated by the LXX. version of Ruth 2:14 and Job 31:17. In the New Testament ψωμίζω is used for distribution of food, Romans 12:20; 1 Corinthians 13:3. The act of Jesus was almost contemporaneous with the "Thou sayest it" of the synoptists It was twofold in meaning, explaining to John what he wished to know fur Peter's sake, and giving Judas one more gracious chance to repent and believe in the Divinity of love rather than that of display, power, and pomp. Judas had been dipping his hand into the same dish with his Master, eating his bread. Instead of resenting such effrontery the blessed Lord gave him in pity the last opportunity to escape, he puts the morsel sopped in the acid wine, the bread of fellowship, into his very lips, and the miscreant received it. The name of Judas, and of his father, and of the place cursed by being his birthplace, are once more introduced at length (cf. John 6:71).
