Matthew 26:23

21 Now as they were eating, He said, “Assuredly, I say to you, one of you will ^abetray Me.”

22 And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and each of them began to say to Him, “Lord, is it I?”

23 He answered and said, ^a“He who dipped his hand with Me in the dish will betray Me.

24 The Son of Man indeed goes just ^aas it is written of Him, but ^bwoe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! ^cIt would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”

25 Then Judas, who was betraying Him, answered and said, “Rabbi, is it I?” He said to him, “You have said it.”

28 For ^athis is My blood ^bof the new covenant, which is shed ^cfor many for the remission of sins.

29 But ^aI say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on ^buntil that day when I drink it new with you in My Father’s kingdom.”

30 ^aAnd when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

Matthew 26:24 >>

Matthew 26:23 He that dippeth [his] hand with me in the dish. In Oriental meals, instead of plates being used, each one helps himself with his fingers from the dish as he needs. From John 13:23-26 we learn that these words were spoken to the disciple that leaned on the Savior's bosom and were unheard by Judas and the rest.
