Commentary on Matthew 26:23

Theological / Devotional

He that dippeth. See on v. 21. Jesus made this statement in answer to a question put to Him by John (John 13:26-26), but Judas had not heard the question (DA 654). The fingers were used in eating the Passover meal. The “dish” here referred to was the charoseth, or sauce used with the unleavened bread and the bitter herbs (see on Matt. 26:21).

The same. In ancient times to violate the rights of hospitality marked a man as utterly beyond the pale of respectability. In Oriental lands even today a man will avoid eating at the same table with someone he may wish to take advantage of, or even with someone he does not wish to have as a friend.
