Context of John 13:30

28(Now none of those present at the table understood why Jesus said this to Judas. 29Some thought that, because Judas had the money box, Jesus was telling him to buy whatever they needed for the feast, or to give something to the poor.) Judas took the piece of bread and went out immediately. (Now it was night.) 31When Judas had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in him. 32If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself, and he will glorify him right away.

• 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.
