Context — Jesus Predicts His Betrayal

24So Simon Peter motioned to him to ask Jesus which one He was talking about. 25Leaning back against Jesus, he asked, “Lord, who is it?”

26Jesus answered, “It is the one to whom I give this morsel after I have dipped it.” Then He dipped the morsel and gave it to Judas son of Simon Iscariot.

27And when Judas had taken the morsel, Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to Judas, “What you are about to do, do quickly.” 28But no one at the table knew why Jesus had said this to him.

As keeper of the money bag, he used to take from what was put into it.

John 13:26 Summary

In this verse, Jesus identifies Judas as the one who will betray Him by giving him a morsel of bread after dipping it, which was a sign of friendship and intimacy. This act shows Jesus' love and humility, as He was willing to give Judas an opportunity to repent, as seen in Matthew 26:50. Jesus' actions also teach us about the importance of being aware of the intentions of those around us, and trusting in God's sovereignty, as seen in Romans 8:28-30. By following Jesus' example, we can learn to love and forgive others, even when they may hurt or betray us, as seen in John 13:1-17 and Matthew 6:14-15.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did Jesus give the morsel to Judas after dipping it?

Jesus gave the morsel to Judas as a way of identifying him as the one who would betray Him, as He had previously stated in John 13:21, and this act was a fulfillment of the prophecy in Psalm 41:9.

What is the significance of dipping the morsel?

The act of dipping the morsel was a sign of intimacy and friendship, as seen in the custom of the time, and Jesus used this act to reveal Judas' true intentions, as stated in John 13:18, which references Psalm 41:9.

Why did Jesus not openly accuse Judas of being the betrayer?

Jesus did not openly accuse Judas to give him an opportunity to repent, as seen in Matthew 26:50, where Jesus calls Judas 'friend', and to fulfill the scripture in John 13:18, which references Psalm 41:9, and also to teach the disciples about humility and love, as seen in John 13:1-17.

What can we learn from Jesus' actions in this verse?

We can learn about Jesus' love, humility, and willingness to forgive, as seen in John 13:1-17, and also about the importance of being aware of the intentions of those around us, as Jesus was aware of Judas' intentions, and to trust in God's sovereignty, as seen in Romans 8:28-30.

Gill's Exposition on John 13:26

Jesus answered, he it is,.... Jesus replied, by whispering; for had he spoken out, the rest could not have been so ignorant, as they still continued, after the sign was given: Christ, I say,

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on John 13:26

Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on John 13:26

Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it; we have the same, though not mentioned as spoken in particular to John, ; though neither of them mention Christ’ s own dipping the sop, but Matthew saith, he dipped his hand with him in the dish; and Luke saith, his hand was with him on the table. Without question all the evangelists speak of the same time; for it is not reasonable to think that this discovery should be made, and Judas gone out, and that afterward he should return again to eat the passover. This maketh me very inclinable to think, that though the washing of the feet might be during the time of a common supper, preceding the passover, yet the supper they were now at was the passover supper: where, 1. Were none but he and the twelve disciples. 2. It is plain they were in that leaning posture, not used at common meals, but on the passover nights (as Dr. Lightfoot tells us from their writings). 3. The discourse passed at the table is the very same (though not in words, yet in sense) with that mentioned by Matthew and Luke, at the passover supper. 4. It is not reasonable to think that after such a discovery as Christ now made of the traitor, he should come again to be pointed at and exposed. Concerning the sop, what it was, hath been some question; and a learned writer of our own (but in this point I think much too critical) hath increased the difficulty, by affirming the word here used, qwmion, signifies a piece of bread, or the lower part or chippings of the bread; for which he quotes Hesychius, who indeed doth say so of qwyion, but not qwmion. The learned annotator thinks qwyion is a false print for qwmion, but it cannot be: for, 1. There are in Hesychius several words in alphabetical order, between qwyion, and this word. 2. Though qwmion be not in Hesychius, yet qwmh is, and expounded by him ta merh, parts; now all know that this qwmion, which is but a diminutive derived from qwmov or qwmh, can signify no more than a little part, let it be of what it will; for it is manifest out of Homer, that, joined with an adjective, it signifies a mouthful of man’ s flesh, which came out of the Cyclops’ mouth. So as the sense of these words is, He it is to whom I shall give a little part or portion of meat, when I have dipped it. And having dipped it, he gave it to Judas the son of Simon: not the Judas who wrote the Epistle, and who is mentioned, , but he that was the son of Simon, called from his place which he lived in, Kiroth, Iscariot: by which he did as perfectly describe the traitor as if he had named him.

Trapp's Commentary on John 13:26

26 Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. Ver. 26. He it is to whom I shall, &c.] Here our Saviour not only feeds his hungry enemy, but shows him like courtesy as we do to one we drink to at table; yea, though he knew the traitor would make an ill use of it. Thus should a Christian punish his persecutors. No vengeance but this is heroic, and fit for Christ’ s followers. Thus Bradford saved Bourn, that helped to burn him. Saunders, sent to prison by Stephen Gardiner, gave God thanks that had given him at last a place of rest and quietness where he might pray for the bishop’ s conversion. It was grown to a proverb concerning Cranmer, Do my Lord of Canterbury a shrewd turn, and then you may be sure to have him your friend while he liveth. Henry VII, emperor of Germany, feeling himself poisoned in the sacramental bread by a monk, called him, and said unto him, Domine, recedatis, &c., Begone, sir, for if my followers find you, you will die for it. Domine, recedatis; nam si percipiunt Teutonici, et nostri devoti, morte moriemini. Func.

Ellicott's Commentary on John 13:26

(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 Rth 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 1 Corinthians 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.) He gave it to Judas Iscariot.—Better, He takes and gives . . . , with the majority of good MSS. Note the solemn and sad fulness with which the name of Judas is again given by the Evangelist. (Comp. John 13:2.)

Adam Clarke's Commentary on John 13:26

Verse 26. And when he had dipped the sop] Dr. Lightfoot observes that it was no unusual thing to dip a sop and give it to any person; and it is probable that the rest of the disciples considered it as given to Judas that he might hurry to do some work on which he wished to employ him, and not wait to finish his supper in a regular manner. They did not hear the question that John asked, nor our Lord's answer; but they no doubt heard the words, That thou doest do quickly - and might understand them as above.

Cambridge Bible on John 13:26

26. to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it] The text here is uncertain, but there is no doubt as to the meaning. Perhaps the better reading is, for whom I shall dip the morsel and give it to him. Copyists have possibly tried to correct the awkwardness of ‘for whom’ and ‘to him.’ In any case ‘sop’ or ‘morsel’ must have the article. The Greek word is derived from ‘rub’ or ‘break,’ and means ‘a piece broken off:’ it is still the common word in Greece for ‘bread.’ To give such a morsel at a meal was an ordinary mark of goodwill, somewhat analogous to taking wine with a person in modern times. Christ, therefore, as a forlorn hope, gives the traitor one more mark of affection before dismissing him. It is the last such mark: ‘Friend, wherefore art thou come?’ (Matthew 26:50) should rather be ‘Comrade, (do that) for which thou art come,’ and is a sorrowful rebuke rather than an affectionate greeting. Whether the morsel was a piece of the unleavened bread dipped in the broth of bitter herbs depends upon whether this supper is regarded as the Paschal meal or not.And when, &c.] The true reading is, Therefore, when He had dipped the morsel He taketh and giveth it. The name of Judas is once more given with solemn fulness as in John 6:71, Judas the son of Simon Iscariot. Comp. John 13:2.

Barnes' Notes on John 13:26

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

Whedon's Commentary on John 13:26

26. Give a sop—The dipping in the same dish (Mark 14:20) and this giving the sop, are two things not to be confounded.
