THE MESSAGE
He said, "It's one of the Twelve, one who eats with me out of the same bowl. In one sense, it turns out that the Son of Man is entering into a way of treachery well-marked by the Scriptures—no surprises here. In another sense, the man who turns him in, turns traitor to the Son of Man—better never to have been born than do this!"

Contextual Overview

12On the first day of the Flatbread Feast is when the Passover lamb is sacrificed. Jesus's cowboys asked him where he wanted to eat the Passover meal. 13He sent a couple of his cowboys to the city and 14said, "When you get into town, you'll see a man carrying a canteen. Follow him. When he goes into a house, knock on the door and tell the owner, 'The Boss asks, "Which room shall I stay in and eat the Passover meal with my cowboys?"' 15He will immediately take you upstairs to a large furnished room. Get everything started and the rest of us will be along shortly." 16The cowboys rode off and found everything just like Jesus said they would. After it happened just like he said it would, they went upstairs and started cooking. 17When evening arrived, Jesus arrived at the house with the rest of his men, including Judas the Betrayer. 18While they were eating, Jesus commented, "One of you eating here with me is a double-crosser." 19You could have heard a pin drop and then one by one, each cowboy said, "It's not me, Boss!" 20Jesus had just sat a bowl down that he had passed around and everyone had dipped their bread into. He said, "The double-crosser has just dipped his hand in the same bowl as I did. 21He will betray me because God said it would happen, but it would be better for the double-crossing cur dog if he'd never been born."

it is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish; just at that very instant; :-.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See this passage explained in the notes at Matthew 26:20-35.

Mark 14:31

More vehemently - More earnestly, more confidently.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse 20. That dippeth with me in the dish. — In the east, persons never eat together from one dish, except when a strong attachment subsists between two or more persons of the same caste; in such a case one invites another to come and sit by him and eat from the same dish. This custom seems to have existed among the Jews; and the sacred historian mentions this notice of our Lord's, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish, to mark more strongly the perfidy of the character of Judas.
