Yochanan 13:29

29 For some were thinking vi-bahlt (since) Yehuda from K’riot had the aron otzaram (chest of treasury), that he says to him, Buy the things which we need for the Chag (Feast) or that he should give ma’ot chittim (money for wheat financial contributions) for haAniyim (the poor).

Yochanan 13:29 Meaning and Commentary

John 13:29

For some of them thought
This was the thought of some of the disciples, it may be of all of them but John;

because Judas had the bag:
which was for the common supply of Christ and his disciples, and for the relief of the poor; (See Gill on John 12:6).

That Jesus had said unto him, buy those things that we have need of
against the feast;
the feast of the passover, which was to be two days after; and shows, that this was not the passover which Christ now ate with his disciples:

or that he should give something to the poor;
for whom Christ cared, and had a hearty concern, and for whom Judas had very little, notwithstanding his high pretensions.

Yochanan 13:29 In-Context

27 And after he received the [maror, charoset, matzah] morsel, then Hasatan entered into that man; therefore, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, What you are bent on doing, do quickly.
28 But no one reclining at tish had da’as of why he said this to him.
29 For some were thinking vi-bahlt (since) Yehuda from K’riot had the aron otzaram (chest of treasury), that he says to him, Buy the things which we need for the Chag (Feast) or that he should give ma’ot chittim (money for wheat financial contributions) for haAniyim (the poor).
30 Therefore, having taken the morsel, that man went out immediately. And it was lailah (night).
31 When, therefore that man went out, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says, Now the Ben HaAdam [DANIEL 7:13-14] receives kavod and Hashem is given kavod in him.
