Yes look at John 13:8

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've viewed john 13:8 and this is what it said.


13:7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.


13:8 Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me.


13:9 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head.

ANSWER:
Yes.

Joh 6:70 Jesus answered them, "Did I not choose you, the twelve,

and one of you is a devil?"
Joh 6:71 He spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, for it was he who would betray Him, being one of the twelve.

Jesus knew from the start Judas would betray Him, but this was all in God's plan. Seems hard on Judas but it is possible that Judas repented of what he had done:

Mat 27:3 Then Judas, His betrayer, seeing that He had been condemned, was remorseful and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
Mat 27:4 saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood." And they said, "What is that to us? You see to it!"
Mat 27:5 Then he threw down the pieces of silver in the temple and departed, and went and hanged himself.

When did Judas become a disciple?

Although scripture states that Simon Peter and Andrew his brother were Jesus' first disciples, there is no mention of when Judas became a disciple apart from his appearance in the list of Jesus' followers.


Is Judas Iscariot the son of Simon?

John's gospel names Simon Iscariot as Judas' father. (This was not the same Simon who became a disciple of Jesus and was renamed Peter.)


How did Judas iscariot become a disciple?

We are not told 'how' Judas became a disciple except that he was chosen by Jesus. This does not mean that Jesus made a mistake in choosing someone who would betray him as he knew from the outset his mission and his fate, and predicted his death and resurrection many times. What we do know is that Judas was not from Galilee (Iscaria is not in that area) and was the 'keeper of the purse' i.e. the disciples' 'treasurer'. However, John's account tells us that he often helped himself to money from the common fund; whether this is actually so or whether it is John's character assassination, we don't know. In recent times there have been moves to make Judas into a saint. The reason for this was that, as Jesus' betrayer, it can be argued that Judas was doing God's work to bring about Jesus' death and resurrection and, consequently, our salvation. Although controversial, this idea fits well into the reasons why, presumably, Jesus, as an expert in other peoples' characters, chose Judas in the first place.
