Giovanni 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.

Giovanni 12:4 In-Context

2 E quivi gli fecero una cena; Marta serviva, e Lazzaro era uno di quelli ch’erano a tavola con lui.
3 Allora Maria, presa una libbra d’olio odorifero di nardo schietto, di gran prezzo, unse i piedi di Gesù e glieli asciugò co’ suoi capelli; e la casa fu ripiena del profumo dell’olio.
4 Ma Giuda Iscariot, uno dei suoi discepoli, che stava per tradirlo, disse:
5 Perché non s’è venduto quest’olio per trecento denari e non si son dati ai poveri?
6 Diceva così, non perché si curasse de’ poveri, ma perché era ladro, e tenendo la borsa, ne portava via quel che vi si metteva dentro.
