Charles Spurgeon Commentary Matthew 26:23

"And he answered and said, He that dipped his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me." — Matthew 26:23 (ASV)

Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, Master, is it I? He said unto him, Thou hast said.

"It is even so," with a sorrowful gesture, he made it plain to his sad little circle of friends and followers that he knew all that was going to happen, and that Judas was the man who was going to turn traitor.

And he answered and said, He that dippeth his hand with me in the dish, the same shall betray me.

He who had been entrusted with the charge of the finances of the little band of Christ's immediate disciples, he who carried the bag, was the one who was about to betray his Lord. Since then, Christ has often been betrayed by those who have been in positions of trust, those who have led the way among the disciples of Christ, those who have, as it were, been so familiar with Christ as to dip their hand with him in the dish.
