41:9 Even my close friend 1 whom I trusted,
he who shared meals with me, has turned against me. 2
1 tn Heb “man of my peace.” The phrase here refers to one’s trusted friend (see Jer 38:22; Obad 7).
2 tn Heb “has made a heel great against me.” The precise meaning of this phrase, which appears only here, is uncertain.
3 tn Matt 10:35-36 are an allusion to Mic 7:6.
4 tn Grk “answering, he said.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation. Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
5 sn The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me. 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.
6 tn Grk “one who dips with me.” The phrase “his hand” has been supplied in the translation for clarity.
7 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.
