Context of John 13:30

28No one at the table knew why Jesus said this to him. 29Judas had the moneybag. So some thought that Jesus was telling him to buy what they needed for the festival or to give something to the poor. Judas took the piece of bread and immediately went outside. It was night. 31When Judas was gone, Jesus said, “The Son of Man is now glorified, and because of him God is glorified. 32If God is glorified because of the Son of Man, God will glorify the Son of Man because of himself, and he will glorify the Son of Man at once.”

The prophecy of his treachery may apply to all who partake of God's mercies, and meet them with ingratitude. See the infidel, who only looks at the Scriptures with a desire to do away their authority and destroy their…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 30out into the night: This detail is more than a note about the time of day. It has symbolic meaning. Judas’s departure shows his spiritual condition.
