John 12:4

John Gill - Exposition - John Gill

Read in KJV Bible Reader

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 comments on Matthew 10:4].

Simon's [son]; this is omitted in the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions; [See comments 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.
