glossokomon denotes the bag kept for money placed into it and used for shared needs or gifts to the poor.

The term denotes a bag that holds money: in one verse money is put into it, and in the other its keeper is associated with purchases for a festival or giving to the poor.

Senses in use

  1. Bag for held and disbursed money · dominant

    Both occurrences use the accusative singular neuter form in clauses about possessing or keeping the bag. In John 12:6 the APB renders money being put into it; in John 13:29 it renders the keeper as potentially being told to buy festival needs or give something to the poor.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “moneybag” in both verses, presenting it as something that holds deposited money and is kept in connection with purchases or giving. These clauses indicate the verse-level presentation rather than a precise lexical rendering.
