I must come to Marie’s defense here as I don’t think Judas ever “finished” the Lord’s Supper. After supper, Jesus took a second cup, gave thanks and offered it to the disciples, ……

Passover celebrations involve four cups of wine, so it seems more likely that Jesus was observing a similar ceremony with multiple cups of wine. The 4-Cups of wine used in the Passover symbolize the 4 distinct redemptions promised by God to the Hebrews as told in Exod 6:6-7: (1) "I will take you out of Egypt," (2) "I will deliver you from Egyptian slavery," (3) "I will redeem you with a demonstration of my power," and (4) "I will acquire you as a nation". Since each of these cups of wine symbolize an action that was performed by God, Jews fill a small cup with wine at 4 different points in the Passover and drink each cup of wine…..

Jesus after the 2nd cup, then said someone is going to betray me… Judas dipped his hand…. Judas left.

Please note that the other TWO cups of wine had not yet been drunk and thus Judas never completed the Passover meal, though he did eat and drink damnation to himself in the "part" he did partake in (1 Cor 11:29).
