Jean 12:4 Meaning and Commentary

John 12:4

Then saith one of his disciples
Who had no true love for his master, was an hypocrite, and a covetous person:

Judas Iscariot;
so called, to distinguish him from another Judas, an apostle; (See Gill on Matthew 10:4).

Simon's [son];
this is omitted in the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions; (See Gill on John 13:2);

which should betray him;
and so he did; this was pre-determined by God, foretold in prophecy, and foreknown by Christ; and is observed here, to show the temper and character of the man.

Jean 12:4 In-Context

2 On lui fit là un souper, et Marthe servait, et Lazare était un de ceux qui étaient à table avec lui.
3 Alors Marie ayant pris une livre de parfum de nard pur, d'un grand prix, en oignit les pieds de Jésus, et les essuya avec ses cheveux; et la maison fut remplie de l'odeur du parfum.
4 Alors Judas l'Iscariote, fils de Simon, l'un de ses disciples, celui qui devait le trahir, dit:
5 Pourquoi n'a-t-on pas vendu ce parfum trois cents deniers, pour les donner aux pauvres?
6 Il disait cela, non qu'il se souciât des pauvres, mais parce qu'il était larron, et qu'ayant la bourse, il portait ce qu'on y mettait.
