Commentaries on John 6:71
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 71He spake of Judas - for he it was that should betray him - ̔ , He who was about to deliver him up.

Judas later betrayed Jesus to the authorities (12:4; 13:2; Matthew 26:14–16). Iscariot means “man from Kerioth.” Kerioth was the home village of Judas’s family.Read the comment
