This painting works a lot with line. If you follow each person's line of sight, you will see that they are looking at somebody else. Each apostle seems to be engaged in some kind of interaction with another apostle. The only two people who don't form part of this pattern are Jesus and St. Peter, who is sleeping on the table. Jesus is looking straight at you. His eyes seem to make some kind of connection with the viewer, a look that says: "Check out what I'm dealing with."
I make this inference because of all the movement going on in the picture. There are some 5 conversations going on. Also, instead of just being seated in their seats, the apostles are in all kinds of weird positions.
Jesus' giving attitude is seen in this picture in that he is offering the lamb head to the table. This is really the only food on the table, other than a little bit of fruit. It's cool to see how a lot of Jesus' "personality" is being highlighted in this piece.
