Contextual Overview

12 On the first day for matzah, when they slaughtered the lamb for Pesach, Yeshua's talmidim asked him, "Where do you want us to go and prepare your Seder?" 13 He sent two of his talmidim with these instructions: "Go into the city, and a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him; 14 and whichever house he enters, tell him that the Rabbi says, ‘Where is the guest room for me, where I am to eat the Pesach meal with my talmidim?' 15 He will show you a large room upstairs, furnished and ready. Make the preparations there." 16 The talmidim went off, came to the city and found things just as he had told them they would be; and they prepared the Seder. 17 When evening came, Yeshua arrived with the Twelve. 18 As they were reclining and eating, Yeshua said, "Yes! I tell you that one of you is going to betray me." 19 They became upset and began asking him, one after the other, "You don't mean me, do you?" 20 "It's one of the Twelve," he said to them, "someone dipping matzah in the dish with me. 21 For the Son of Man will die, just as the Tanakh says he will; but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for him had he never been born!"

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 20. That dippeth with me in the dish. — In the east, persons never eat together from one dish, except when a strong attachment subsists between two or more persons of the same caste; in such a case one invites another to come and sit by him and eat from the same dish. This custom seems to have existed among the Jews; and the sacred historian mentions this notice of our Lord's, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish, to mark more strongly the perfidy of the character of Judas.
