Exegesis
In the quotation, the participial clause ho trṓgōn mou tòn árton {Ὁ τρώγων μου τὸν ἄρτον | ho trṓgōn mou tὸν árton} emphasizes intimate table fellowship, which heightens the betrayal image carried by the idiom epērén epʼ emé tḗn ptérnan autoû {ἐπῆρεν ἐπʼ ἐμὲ τὴν πτέρναν αὐτοῦ | epērén epʼ emé tḗn ptérnan autoû}.
In context — John 13:18
I am not speaking concerning all of you; I know whom I have selected, but this is so that the Scripture may be fulfilled: “The one who is eating My bread has lifted up his heel against Me.”
