This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joh 6:70. Τοὺς δώδεκα) The article has great force.-ἐξελεξάμην, I have chosen) There is therefore a kind of election, from which one can fall away.-ἐξ ὑμῶν, of you) from among so few.-εἷς, one) This indefinite disclosure excited all the others, and proved the truth of their confession, as made by Peter, but excluded Judas, although not contradicting that confession. Here was the point where Judas ought to have repented. [The wretched man had been offended, Joh 6:61, (Jesus had said to the murmuring disciples) “Doth this offend you?” Wherefore that exclamation of Peter, “To whom shall we go?” did not after this square with his views. He did no doubt go, but it was to the chief priests.-V. g.]-διάβολος, the devil) not merely evil to himself, but even dangerous to others.
