Jesus came to exchange light for darkness and many were not willing for Him to expose them because they hid things that could not please God but since Jesus was God He knew perfectly what was in the hearts of men and always identified them in order that they could change. However, the attitude of Judas was a very special case since through him the scriptures about the traitor would be fulfilled.
In this order of ideas, after one of the most humble acts that the Lord has done of washing the feet of his disciples and teaching them about humility and the true trait of a leader, he is about to institute a talk to institute the true trait of the leader. service and then identify the traitor.
John 13: 21-26
21 When Jesus had said this, he was distressed in spirit, and he testified and said, "Truly I tell you, one of you will deliver me up." 22 The disciples looked at each other and were perplexed, not knowing who he was talking about.
23 One of His disciples, the one Jesus loved, was reclining on Jesus' chest at table. 24 So Simon Peter beckoned to him * and said * to him, "Tell us about whom you are speaking." 25 Then he, leaning back [b] on Jesus' breast, * said to him, "Lord, who is it?"
26 Then Jesus answered *: "He is the one to whom I give the piece of bread that I am going to dip." And after dipping the piece of bread, he took it * and gave it * to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.

Wet bread - according to the Biblical Dictionary
Wet bread (gr. PsÇmíon, 'a [small] piece of bread'). From time immemorial it has been a courtesy among Orientals for the host to dip a piece of bread on the plate, which is in the center of the table, and give it to one of his guests. However, in the lands of the East, even to this day, a person avoids eating with someone from whom he wants to gain an advantage. That Judas accepted the morsel that Jesus gave him places him outside the realm of respectability.
Historically this act was practiced between friends and it was a courteous and kind service from those who practiced it showing respect.
Wet bread: The homeowner, every time he had a guest or guest in his home, served them soup with bread and the homeowner took the bread with his hand, spread it in the soup and with his own hand gave it eat the guest. With this the owner of the house gave him to understand that he respected him, appreciated him, a sublime and humble act of the homeowner.

Jesus loved everyone without distinction because even though Judas would betray him, He loved him and with this act of wet bread practiced at this time among friends and visitors he showed that his love went beyond what the human mind could perceive.
God is willing to give us all the wet bread but it is on our part or our responsibility to know what to do with it because when God offers it, He is showing us His incomparable love His friendship shows us that He is our best friend even in the midst of any storm
¡WITH LOTS OF LOVE!
