Giovanni 13:26

26 Egli è colui, al quale io darò il boccone, dopo averlo intinto. Ed avendo intinto il boccone, lo diede a Giuda Iscariot, figliuol di Simone.

Giovanni 13:26 Meaning and Commentary

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, whispered to John, and told him by what sign he might know the person, and that it was he,

to whom,
says he,

I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it.
This was not the passover sop, which was dipped into a sauce made of various things, called by the Jews (towrx) ; for this was not the "paschal" supper, but a common supper at a private house, two days before the feast of the passover; but this sop, or rather crust of bread, which whether dipped into a liquid, or only a piece of dry bread, which Christ dipped his hand into the dish for, and took, as some think, is not very material, was a piece of common bread, which Christ took up, without regard to any custom, or ceremony used at any feasts, and gave it to the betrayer, as a sign by which John might know him:

and when he, had dipped the sop;
either into some sort of broth, or any other liquid, or had dipped his hand into the dish for it:

he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon;
so called, to distinguish him from another apostle, whose name was Judas, and was then present.

Giovanni 13:26 In-Context

24 Simon Pietro adunque gli fece cenno, che domandasse chi fosse colui, del quale egli parlava.

25 E quel discepolo, inchinatosi sopra il petto di Gesù, gli disse: Signore, chi è colui? Gesù rispose:

26 Egli è colui, al quale io darò il boccone, dopo averlo intinto. Ed avendo intinto il boccone, lo diede a Giuda Iscariot, figliuol di Simone.

27 Ed allora, dopo quel boccone, Satana entrò in lui. Laonde Gesù gli disse: Fa’ prestamente quel che tu fai.

28 Ma niun di coloro ch’erano a tavola intese perchè gli avea detto quello.
