This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
for = concerning. Greek peri. App-104.
thief. Greek. kleptes. The same word as in Joh_10:1, Joh_10:8, Joh_10:10. Mat_6:19; Mat_24:43, &c. Not the same as in Mat_21:18; Mat_26:63; Mat_27:38. Luk_10:30. That is lestes, and should be translated "robber", as in Joh_10:1, Joh_10:8; Joh_18:40.
the bag. Greek. glossokomon. Only here and Joh_13:29. Used in the Septuagint of the chest made by command of Joash (2Ch_24:8-11). The word means a bag to keep the tongues or reeds of wind instruments, and if Judas was a shepherd (Kerioth being in the hilly district of southern Judah), the bag might be the pouch or wallet for the reeds of the pipes so much used by the eastern shepherd.
