Commentary on John 12:6
Theological / DevotionalBag. Gr. glossokomon, literally, a receptacle for the mouthpieces of wind instruments, but the word came to be used also to describe a receptacle for general articles, and more particularly for the storing of money. Hence “money box” would be a suitable translation. The word occurs in the LXX of 2 Chron. 24:8.
Bare. Gr. bastazo, generally meaning “to carry” (Luke 7:14; 22:10; etc.), also “to pick up” (John 10:31). Here the meaning is “to pilfer,” a definition clearly attested in the papyri.
