John 13:26
Compare all
24 Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to ask who it was of whom He spoke.
25 Then, leaning1 back on Jesus’ breast, he said to Him, “Lord, who is it?”  
26 Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it.” And having dipped the bread, He gave it to aJudas Iscariot, the son of Simon.  
27 aNow after the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.”  
28 But no one at the table knew for what reason He said this to him.
29 For some thought, because aJudas had the money box, that Jesus had said to him, “Buy those things we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.  
30 Having received the piece of bread, he then went out immediately. And it was night.

The New Commandment

31 So, when he had gone out, Jesus said, a“Now the Son of Man is glorified, and bGod is glorified in Him.  
32 If God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and aglorify Him immediately.

John 13:26

Jesus answered - That is, he answered John. It does not appear that either Judas or the other apostles heard him.

Shall give a sop - The word translated "sop" means a morsel, a piece of bread, or anything else eaten - as much as we are accustomed to take at a mouthful. Jesus was about to dip it in the sauce which was used at the Passover. The word "dip," in the original, is that from which is derived the word "baptize." It means here that Jesus would dip it into the sauce as we do a piece of bread. It is probable that it was not an unusual thing for the master of a feast to help others in this way, as it does not appear to have attracted the attention of the others as at all remarkable. It was an indication to John who the betrayer was, and a hint which Judas also probably understood.
