Jesus answered—also inaudibly, the answer being communicated to Peter perhaps from behind.
He . . . to whom I shall give a sop when I have dipped it—a piece of the bread soaked in the wine or the sauce of the dish; one of the ancient ways of testifying peculiar regard; compare John 13:18, "he that eateth bread with Me."
And when he had dipped . . . he gave it to Judas, etc.—Thus the sign of Judas' treachery was an affecting expression, and the last, of the Saviour's wounded love!
there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved—Thus modestly does our Evangelist denote himself, as reclining next to Jesus at the table.
Peter . . . beckoned to him to ask who it should be of whom he spake—reclining probably at the corresponding place on the other side of Jesus.
