NASB | John 12:6 Now he said this, not because he was concerned about the poor, but because he was a thief, and as he had the money box, he used to pilfer what was put into it. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 12:6 Now he said this, not because he cared about the poor [for he had never cared about them], but because he was a thief; and since he had the money box [serving as treasurer for the twelve disciples], he used to pilfer what was put into it. |
Bible Question: How much was in the money box? Can you guess in current sense like in the dollars? I ask this question because someone argues that as shown in this verse he carried a money box Jesus was in fact financially very rich: he was not poor at all against our usual understanding. |
Bible Answer: Hello 00123, Welcome to the Forum! John 12:6 does not give any detail or say how much was in the moneybag! So, to guess would simply be speculative and go beyond what is written. (1 Cor. 4:6) Why does it matter? On the other hand, what support can you provide from scripture that "Jesus was in fact financially very rich"? This is pure conjecture! To what "usual understanding" do you refer? Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
