Click to reveal the answerThe answer is: Dipped a piece of bread and passed it to him
Matthew 26:23 - a custom to take a piece of bread or meat wrapped in bread and dip it in a bowl of sauce.
In that intense moment during the Last Supper, Jesus not only foreshadowed his own fate but also brought to light a poignant aspect of the human experience—betrayal. When he dipped the bread and handed it to Judas Iscariot, it revealed the deep closeness they once shared as friends. This simple act of sharing food had profound significance, as meals were part of establishing relationship and trust in first-century Jewish culture.
The act itself echoes ancient traditions, where sharing a meal could symbolize friendship and loyalty. In many cultures today, breaking bread together still holds deep value, signifying unity and a common bond. Imagine being the other disciples at the table, absorbing that moment as Jesus interacted with Judas, possibly feeling puzzled or even betrayed themselves. It highlights how relationships can become complicated.
Interestingly, later in John 13, Jesus mentions that it's he “whom I give this piece of bread” right after dipping it, lending a sense of drama to the moment and tying back to the very concept of prophecy and fate—two themes that weave throughout biblical texts. Judas then gave Jesus one of the most infamous parting gifts: betrayal for thirty pieces of silver, which can be seen as a bleak commentary on the fragility of trust.
Ultimately, this moment carved its way into the narrative of Christ's journey, illustrating not just the inevitability of certain trials but also deepening our understanding of love, loyalty, and the diverse ways they can manifest—sometimes even in the most unexpected moments.
