Footnotes

25 Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
26 Grk “he was reclining at table,” as 1st century middle eastern meals were not eaten while sitting at a table, but while reclining on one’s side on the floor with the head closest to the low table and the feet farthest away.
27 Many witnesses, some of them important, have μαθητῶν (mathētōn, “disciples”; א A L W Δ Θ 33 892 1241 1424 lat) or μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ (mathētōn autou, “his disciples”; 0281 it) after δώδεκα (dōdeka, “twelve”). However, such clarifications are typical scribal expansions to the text. Further, the shorter reading (the one that ends with δώδεκα) has strong support in 𝔓37vid,45vid B D K Γ f1, 13 565 579 700 . Thus both internally and externally the reading that ends the verse with “the twelve” is to be preferred.
28 Grk “Truly (ἀμήν, amēn), I say to you.”
29 Or “will hand me over.”
30 Here καί (kai) has not been translated.
31 The participle λυπούμενοι (lupoumenoi) has been translated as a finite verb to make the sequence of events clear in English.
32 Grk “answering, he said.” This is somewhat redundant and has been simplified in the translation. Here δέ (de) has not been translated.
33 The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me. The point of Jesus’ comment here is not to identify the specific individual per se, but to indicate that it is one who was close to him—somebody whom no one would suspect. His comment serves to heighten the treachery of Judas’ betrayal.
