Mark 14:18-20

14:18 While they were at the table ¹  eating, Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, ²  one of you eating with me will betray me.” ³  14:19 They were distressed, and one by one said to him, “Surely not I?” 14:20 He said to them, “It is one of the twelve, one who dips his hand ⁴  with me into the bowl. ⁵ 

¹ tn Grk “while they were reclined at the table.”

² tn Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amhn), I say to you.”

³ tn Or “will hand me over”; Grk “one of you will betray me, the one who eats with me.”

⁴ tn Grk “one who dips with me.” The phrase “his hand” has been supplied in the translation for clarity.

⁵ sn One who dips with me in the bowl. The point of Jesus’ comment here is not to identify the specific individual per se, but to indicate that it is one who was close to him – somebody whom no one would suspect. His comment serves to heighten the treachery of Judas’ betrayal.
