Look in Acts, chapter 1, verse 26.
If you read from verse 23 to verse 26, it reveals how the disciples chose Matthias to replace Judas who had died by suicide.
Some people believe Judas was from a village in Judea called Kerioth (Judas "Ish-Kerioth," or Iscariot, would mean "Judas from Kerioth").
A Gospel of Judas Iscariot appears to have been in use among the Cainites, an early Gnostic sect. The Gospel was also mentioned by Irenaeus. However, it should be remembered that all the gospels, even those now in the Bible, were not really written by the disciples to whom they were attributed - so Judas Iscariot did not really write anything. One branch of Christianity came to dominate and was the branch that selected the gospels that it would include in its Bible. With the possible exception of John's Gospel, it did not include any Gnostic gospels.
Despite the terrible betrayal that was involved in Judas Iscariot's act, it was the will of God and Jesus that He would go to the cross for our sins. Just as Jesus did not have to hang on the cross (He could have saved Himself) He did not have befriend Judas, but He did because it would ultimately lead to Him paying the penalty for our sins.
No. This is most unlikely. There is absolutely no evidence, Biblical or historical, to suggest that Judas Iscariot was even remotely related to Jesus. Jesus came from Galilee, a region in the north of the country; Judas came from Iscaria (hence his name) in the south. In those times travel was far less common than it is today; people tended to live, have families, and die in the same region, and hence there would have been little if any contact between Judas and Jesus until he became a disciple.
Thaddaeus, aka Lebbaeus, aka Jude, aka Judas the son of James, was one of Jesus' chosen twelve (Matthew 10:3; Mark 3:18). It was Thaddaeus [whom John calls "Judas (not Iscariot)"] who asked Jesus how He would reveal Himself to His followers and not to the world, in John 14:22. The names "Thaddaeus" and "Lebbaeus" are Aramaic; both mean "beloved" or "dear to the heart." "Judas" and "Jude" are derived from the Hebrew "Judah," meaning "praise."
Some people believe Judas was from a village in Judea called Kerioth (Judas "Ish-Kerioth," or Iscariot, would mean "Judas from Kerioth").
Judas Iscariot went secretly to the chief priests to betray Jesus and inform them when it would be safe to arrest him.

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.
Judas Iscariot
First of all, if he had not betrayed Jesus, Jesus would have never delivered us from sin. Second, if Judas Iscariot had not betrayed Jesus (and if someone else did), he would have probably lived to see Jesus' resurrection from the dead.

Judas Iscariot. Jesus knew that Judas would betray him and he still accepted him! i think that if we all had that kind of acceptance as Christians we would really make a difference.
There are seven men named Judas mentioned or discussed in the Bible.In Bible times, they did not use last names. The use of last names or family names did not really start until the 13th century.Here are the seven men:1. An ancestor to Jesus mentioned in Luke 3:30, 312. Judas the Galilean of Acts 5:373. One of the 12 Apostles, also called Thaddaeus of Luke 6:16 & Acts 1:134. One of the 12 Apostles, called Judas Iscariot, the betrayerMatthew 10:4, Luke 6:16, John 6:71 and others.5. One of four half brothers of Jesus Christ. Mt 13:55; Mr 6:36. A man from Damascus whose home was visited by Saul. Acts 9:117. Another name for Barsabbas - a disciple in the early Christian faith.Acts 5:22
Judas Iscariot was one of the twelve disciples of Jesus who betrayed him by identifying him with a kiss to the religious authorities, leading to Jesus' arrest and crucifixion. Judas later regretted his actions and returned the thirty pieces of silver he was paid for the betrayal before ultimately taking his own life.
Judas Iscariot. This story, like the story of Cain from the Old Testament, is one of the biblical stories used to explain vampire mythology and why it was the way it was.
A:According to the gospels, Judas Iscariot was one of the disciples of Jesus. Jews were universally known by their father's name, and it would have been normal for any Jew to be known (in Aramaic) as Joseph son of Heli, or the like. It was certainly the practice of Romans and Greeks to have surnames, but almost unheard of for a Jew to have a surname, and Judas was a Jew.Some scholars have cast doubt on the historicity of Judas Iscariot. John Shelby Spong (Jesus for the NonReligious) says that the name Iscariot seems to be based on sicarii, a Latin term for 'assassins'. It seems too much of a coincidence that the traitor Judas should (alone among the apostles) have a surname, and that surname could provide a clue as to his future actions.
