Commentators emphasize the profound shock and pain of this moment. Jesus highlights the physical hand of his betrayer sharing the same table, a sign of intimate fellowship. Charles Spurgeon notes this is far worse than being attacked by an enemy; it is a betrayal by a trusted friend, making the act deeply personal and tragic.
