John 13:30

"For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus said to him, “Buy what things we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor."

Key Reflection

This verse reveals a misunderstanding among the disciples regarding Jesus' intentions. They interpreted his actions through their own lenses, focusing on practical matters like preparing for a feast rather than recognizing the profound spiritual significance of the moment, which was about to culminate in the betrayal and eventual sacrifice of Jesus.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 30. If was night. It was in the evening, or early part of the night. What is recorded in the following chapters took place in the same night. __________________________________________________________________
