Commentary on John 6:71
Theological / DevotionalJudas Iscariot. See on Mark 3:19. Textual evidence favors (cf. p. 146) the reading “Judas the son of Simon Iscariot.” If, as is probable, the name Iscariot refers to Judas’ place of origin, it would reasonably be both his name and that of his father.
Betray. The phrase reads literally, “he was going to betray.” The Greek in no sense indicates that Judas was predestined inevitably to betray Jesus. From his point of view many years later, John merely looks to the future and exclaims: “For this one was going to betray Him — one of the Twelve!”
