Exegesis
The main narrative clause ho Iesous eipen {ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν | ho Iēsoûs eîpen} places Jesus as the subject who breaks into this intimate setting with a solemn announcement.
The defining apposition ho esthiōn met' emou {ὁ ἐσθίων μετʼ ἐμοῦ | ho esthíōn met' emoû} ‘the one eating with me’ uses a substantival participle to narrow the identity of the betrayer to someone currently sharing the meal, intensifying the sense of violated fellowship. In translation, the genitive absolute is rendered as a temporal clause (“as they were reclining and eating”), the amen-formula as “Truly I say to you” / “I assure you,” and the participle ho esthiōn as “one who is eating / someone who is eating” in order to preserve both the ongoing aspect and the personal focus.
