Jesus answered
This phrase indicates a direct response from Jesus, highlighting His omniscience and authority. In the Greek, "ἀποκριθεὶς" (apokritheis) suggests a deliberate and thoughtful reply, emphasizing Jesus' awareness of the events unfolding. His response is not just to the immediate question but to the deeper spiritual betrayal that is about to occur.

The one who has dipped his hand
This phrase signifies a shared intimacy and fellowship. In the cultural context of the time, sharing a meal was a sign of trust and friendship. The Greek word "ἐμβάψας" (embapsas) means to dip or immerse, indicating a close proximity and shared experience. This act of dipping together in the same dish underscores the gravity of the betrayal, as it comes from one within Jesus' inner circle.

Into the bowl with Me
The "bowl" or "τὸ τρυβλίον" (to tryblion) in Greek, refers to a common dish used during meals. This shared bowl is symbolic of the communal life Jesus had with His disciples. Historically, meals were significant social events, and sharing a bowl was an act of unity and brotherhood. The betrayal, therefore, is not just a personal affront but a violation of sacred fellowship.

Will betray Me
The word "betray" comes from the Greek "παραδώσει" (paradosei), meaning to hand over or deliver up. This term is loaded with treachery and deceit, highlighting the severity of Judas' actions. In the scriptural context, betrayal is one of the most grievous sins, as it involves a breach of trust and loyalty. Jesus' foreknowledge of this act underscores His role as the suffering Messiah, who willingly embraces His path to fulfill the Scriptures.

(23) He that dippeth his hand with me.--Better, he that dipped, as of an act just passed. It seems probable from what follows that these words also were spoken to a few only of the disciples, say to the four who were nearest to their Master. We can scarcely think of Judas as asking the question of Matthew 26:25, if he had heard the words and knew that they pointed to him as the traitor.

Verse 23. - He that dippeth (dipped) his hand with me in the dish. Even now Jesus does not identify the traitor. Many had put their hands into the dish along with Christ. Judas was one of those who had done so. The fact of eating together made in the Easterns' view, the treachery more monstrous. "Mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me" (Psalm 41:9). The dish was one of large dimensions, from which each guest took his portion with his fingers. It was truly a common meal in which all shared. Our Lord's words were spoken in answer to John's question, "Lord, who is it?" (John xii[. 25). The beloved apostle's position at table, "lying on Jesus' breast," enabled him to ask this without being overheard. There is a mistake commonly made concerning the shape of the table used on such occasions. It was not of a horseshoe form, but oblong. The couches were arranged round three of its sides, and it extended a little way beyond the divans. The Master's seat was not at the top or middle couch, but at the side; and from what occurred we should infer that John sat on the right of Jesus at the end of the couch, and Judas on the left of Jesus, the strife about precedency having been thus settled. (The correct shape of the table, and the places of Jesus, John, Judas, and Peter, are delineated in Edersheim's work, vol. 2. p. 494.)
