NT.filter - rwp Matthew:26:22:



rwp@John:13:22 @{Looked one on another} (\eblepon eis allˆlous\). Inchoative imperfect of \blep“\, "began to glance at one another in bewilderment (doubting, \aporoumenoi\, present passive participle of \apore“\, to be at a loss, to lose one's way, \a\ privative and \poros\, way). They recalled their strife about precedence and Judas betrayed nothing. {Concerning whom he spake} (\peri tinos legei\). Indirect question retaining present active indicative \legei\. See same note in ¯Mark:14:19; strkjv@Matthew:26:22; strkjv@Luke:22:23|.

rwp@John:13:26 @{He} (\ekeinos\). Emphatic pronoun again. {For whom I shall dip the sop} (\h“i eg“ baps“ to ps“mion\). Dative case of the relative (\h“i\) and future active of \bapt“\, to dip (Luke:16:24|). \Ps“mion\ is a diminutive of \ps“mos\, a morsel, a common _Koin‚_ word (in the papyri often), in N.T. only in this passage. It was and is in the orient a token of intimacy to allow a guest to dip his bread in the common dish (cf. strkjv@Ruth:2:14|). Songs:Mark:14:20|. Even Judas had asked: "Is it I?" (Mark:14:19; strkjv@Matthew:26:22|). {Giveth it to Judas} (\did“sin Ioudƒi\). Unobserved by the others in spite of Christ's express language, because "it was so usual a courtesy" (Bernard), "the last appeal to Judas' better feeling" (Dods). Judas now knew that Jesus knew his plot.

rwp@Matthew:26:22 @{Is it I, Lord?} (\mˆti eg“ eimi, Kurie;\). The negative expects the answer No and was natural for all save Judas. But he had to bluff it out by the same form of question (verse 25|). The answer of Jesus, {Thou hast said} (\su eipas\), means Yes.
