King James Bible
"Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon."
Jesus responds to the disciples' question about who will betray him by identifying the betrayer through a symbolic act. In the Passover meal context, offering a dipped morsel was typically a gesture of honor or friendship, making Jesus's choice deeply ironic and merciful—he extends grace even to his betrayer. The action fulfills Jesus's prediction, definitively revealing Judas as the betrayer while the other disciples likely remained unaware of the significance. The full identification including Judas's father's name emphasizes the gravity of this moment and distinguishes him from other disciples named Judas.
