Exegesis
The verse is a narrative explanation introduced by the verb eipen {εἶπεν | eî-pen} ‘he said,’ followed by the demonstrative object touto {τοῦτο | toû-to} ‘this,’ which points back to Judas’s prior statement.
In context — John 12:6
He said this, not because he was concerned about the poor , but because he was a thief and, having the money box , he used to carry off what was being put into it.
