John 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.

John 13:29 In-Context

27 et post buccellam tunc introivit in illum Satanas dicit ei Iesus quod facis fac citius
28 hoc autem nemo scivit discumbentium ad quid dixerit ei
29 quidam enim putabant quia loculos habebat Iudas quia dicit ei Iesus eme ea quae opus sunt nobis ad diem festum aut egenis ut aliquid daret
30 cum ergo accepisset ille buccellam exivit continuo erat autem nox
31 cum ergo exisset dicit Iesus nunc clarificatus est Filius hominis et Deus clarificatus est in eo
