Exposition of the New Testament (1746-1748)

Jesus answered, he it is,.... Jesus replied, by whispering; for had he spoken out, the rest could not have been so ignorant, as they still continued, after the sign was given: Christ, I say, whispered to John, and told him by what sign he might know the person, and that it was he, to whom, says he, I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it.

Jesus answered - In his ear. So careful was he not to offend (if it had been possible) even Judas himself. The sop - Which he took up while he was speaking.

Matthew Henry

1662–1714

Commentary on the Whole Bible (1710)

It is the character of a widow indeed that she had washed the saints' feet ( 1 Tim. v. 10 ), and there is some comfort in this; but the blessed Jesus here washed the feet of a sinner, the worst of sinners, the worst to him, who was at this time contriving to betray him. Many interpreters consider Christ's washing his disciples' feet as a representation of his whole undertaking.

Commentary on the Bible (1832)

And when he had dipped the sop - Dr. Lightfoot observes that it was no unusual thing to dip a sop and give it to any person; and it is probable that the rest of the disciples considered it as given to Judas that he might hurry to do some work on which he wished to employ him, and not wait to finish his supper in a regular manner.

The Metropolitan Tabernacle Pulpit, Sermon No. 2052: “"On His Breast"” (lightly modernized text, CCEL edition) (1888)

PICTURE the Lord and His Apostles at the holy Supper. A world of interest centers here. Two figures, strangely different, met in this scene—met, shortly afterwards to part and never to meet again. To look upon them, they seemed equally disciples of Jesus and from the position which one of them occupied, as leaning on the Lord's bosom and the other as the treasurer of the Master's little store, they seemed to be equally trusted and honored followers of the great Lord. You might not have known, by mere sight, which was the better man of the two—John or Judas.
