Commentary on John 6:70
'Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?' Even the Twelve include a traitor. Jesus' choice doesn't guarantee faithfulness—Judas was chosen and will betray. Calling him 'a devil' (diabolos) identifies Judas with Satan (13:27). This sobering note warns against presumption. Proximity to Jesus doesn't ensure genuine faith. Jesus knew from the beginning who would betray Him (verse 64).
