Peculate
To Peculate is to steal or take dishonestly (money, especially public funds, or property entrusted to one's care); embezzle.
The gospel of John accuses Judas, who acted as the disciples' treasurer, of peculation. (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. (John 12:6, NASB)
