SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:70
Jess les respondi: ¿No he escogido yo a vosotros doce, y uno de vosotros es diablo?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 6:70
Verse 70. Have not I chosen you twelve] Have I not, in an especial manner, called you to believe in my name, and chosen you to be my disciples and the propagators of my doctrine! Nevertheless, one of you is a devil, or accuser, enlisted on the side of Satan, who was a murderer from the beginning.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 70. Jesus answered them , etc.] The disciples, taking Peters answer to his question, as delivered in the name of them all, and as expressing their mind and sense: have not I chosen you twelve ; not to grace and glory, to holiness and happiness; though this was true of eleven of them, but to be apostles: and one of you is a devil ? or like to one, is a deceiver, a liar, and a murderer, as the devil is from the beginning; all which Judas was, and appeared to be, in the betraying of his master. The Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions read, is Satan; which name, if given to Peter, as it once was on a certain occasion, ( Matthew 16:23), might very well be given to Judas; who, notwithstanding his profession of faith in Christ, was in the hands and kingdom of Satan, and under his influence and power: and this our Lord said, partly that they might not too much presume upon their faith and love, and steady attachment, and be over confident of their standing; and partly, to prepare them for the apostasy of one from among them.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 66-71 - When we admit into our minds hard thoughts of the words and works of Jesus, we enter into temptation, which, if the Lord in mercy preven not, will end in drawing back. The corrupt and wicked heart of ma often makes that an occasion for offence, which is matter of the greatest comfort. Our Lord had, in the foregoing discourse, promise eternal life to his followers; the disciples fastened on that plai saying, and resolved to cleave to him, when others fastened on har sayings, and forsook him. Christ's doctrine is the word of eterna life, therefore we must live and die by it. If we forsake Christ, we forsake our own mercies. They believed that this Jesus was the Messia promised to their fathers, the Son of the living God. When we ar tempted to backslide or turn away, it is good to remember firs principles, and to keep to them. And let us ever remember our Lord' searching question; Shall we go away and forsake our Redeemer? To who can we go? He alone can give salvation by the forgiveness of sins. An this alone brings confidence, comfort, and joy, and bids fear an despondency flee away. It gains the only solid happiness in this world and opens a way to the happiness of the next __________________________________________________________________

Vincent's NT Word Studies
70. A devil (diabolov). See on Matt. iv. 1. The word is an adjective, meaning slanderous, but is almost invariably used in the New Testament as a noun, and with the definite article. The article is wanting only in 1 Peter v. 8; Acts xiii. 10; Apoc. xii. 9; and perhaps Apoc. xx. 2. It is of the very essence of the devilish nature to oppose Christ. Compare Matt. xvi. 23.
