MARK 14:20 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish.”
It is one of the Twelve, he replied, one who dips bread into the bowl with me — the narrowing identification (one of the Twelve, one who dips with me) maintains some ambiguity while confirming the intimate character of the betrayal. The dipping into the bowl is the sharing of the common dish — the most intimate act of table fellowship. The betrayer is not a distant enemy but a table companion.
