John 13:26
26. 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 Joh 13:18, "he that eateth bread with Me." And when he had dipped . . . he gave it to Judas, &c.—Thus the sign of Judas' treachery was an affecting expression, and the last, of the Saviour's wounded love!
