Judas
No, Judas Iscariot was not a Roman soldier. However, the name 'Iscariot' could have been a derivative of the Latin (Roman) word Sicarius, which means 'assassin'. Of course, this would be a most improbable coincidence unless we had reason to believe that Judas Iscariot was a literary invention, rather than a real person.
In the Bible, Judas was the disciple who betrayed Jesus to the Roman police. Thus, to play Judas would mean that you were a traitor. If you betrayed someone, or acted falsely toward them, they might say you were playing Judas.
The personJudas kissedidentified Christ to the Roman soldiers.
Judas was one of the twelve disciples that betrayed Jesus to the Roman soldiers that came to the Mount of Olives to arrest Him. Judas betrayed Jesus with a kiss!
Judas, one of Jesus' disciples, betrayed Christ for thirty pieces of silver by identifying Him so the Roman soldiers could arrest Him.
John 18:3New International Version (NIV) 3 So Judas came to the garden, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials from the chief priests and the Pharisees. They were carrying torches, lanterns and weapons.A detachment of Roman soldiers is approximately 1/10th of a Roman Legion which would make it 600 men following Judas.
It was most likely Judas Iscariot. Or a Roman soldier.
No not at all, as the bible very clearly says Jesus was betrayed by Judas for thirty silver coins (definitely not thirty gold coins) as this was the price of a normal slave in roman times.
i think it was Judas. i go to a catholic school, so if I'm wrong, im sorry. :( :)
According to the account in the Gospel of John, Judas carried the disciples' money bag. He betrayed Jesus for a bribe of "thirty pieces of silver" by identifying him with a kiss "the kiss of Judas" to arresting soldiers of the High Priest Caiaphas, who then turned Jesus over to Pontius Pilate's soldiers
