trublion denotes the vessel into which Jesus and another person dip during the meal scenes.

The attested use refers to a meal vessel associated with dipping: both verses place it in the shared action of dipping with Jesus.

Senses in use

  1. Meal vessel used in shared dipping · dominant

    In Mark 14:20, the accusative singular form occurs in the clause identifying one who is dipping with Jesus; the APB renders the clause "the one dipping with me into the bowl." In Matthew 26:23, the dative singular form occurs with the hand-dipping action, and the APB renders "The one who has dipped his hand with me in the bowl."

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across both verses, the APB presents the vessel as "the bowl" in clauses about dipping with Jesus. The verse is read as a whole, but its wording consistently depicts the same meal setting.
