The 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.

When we think of betrayal, what's often lost is the cultural backdrop that framed Jesus’s final meal with his disciples, known as the Last Supper. This moment is steeped in rich tradition and significance. The act of dipping bread shows an intimate connection — sharing a meal was considered sacred among Jews, signifying fellowship and trust.

In Matthew 26:23, when Jesus dips the bread and passes it, it's profoundly symbolic. They shared this traditional meal during Passover, a time that commemorates the Israelites' exodus from Egypt, celebrating liberation. Ironically, this intimate act of sharing also becomes a moment of pain, as it points directly to Judas Iscariot’s betrayal. In ancient times, sharing food was an act reserved for close friends, making the betrayal even more poignant.

Trivia speaks volumes here too—the practice of bread dipping is still very much alive today in various Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cultures! Imagine the scene: Jesus surrounded by his disciples in the flickering candlelight, aromas spiraling around them, laughter one moment, foreshadowing heartache the next. Jesus was not only revealing the identity of his betrayer but also emphasizing the depth of human relationships, which can sometimes hold unexpected darkness.

As we reflect on this pivotal moment, it’s a reminder of the complexities in relationships — love and betrayal often existing in the same space. This serves as an echo of life’s nuances, inviting us to examine our own connections while embracing our humanity.
