In another sense, the man who turns him in, turns traitor to the Son of Man—better never to have been born than do this!"
Simplified Cowboy Version

Contextual Overview

12 On the first day of matzah, when they sacrificed the Pesach, his talmidim asked him, "Where do you want us to go and make ready that you may eat the Pesach?" 13 He sent two of his talmidim, and said to them, "Go into the city, and there you will meet a man carrying a pitcher of water. Follow him, 14 and wherever he enters in, tell the master of the house, 'The Teacher says, "Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Pesach with my talmidim?"' 15 He will himself show you a large upper room furnished and ready. Make ready for us there." 16 His talmidim went out, and came into the city, and found things as he had said to them, and they prepared the Pesach. 17 When it was evening he came with the twelve. 18 As they sat and were eating, Yeshua said, "Most assuredly I tell you, one of you will betray me -- he who eats with me." 19 They began to be sorrowful, and to ask him one by one, "Surely not I?" And another said, "Surely not I?" 20 He answered them, "It is one of the twelve, he who dips with me in the dish. 21 For the Son of Man goes, even as it is written about him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not 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.
