In the King James version....
The 'other' Judas is cited several times as the brother of James
* Luk 6:16 And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor. * Joh 14:22 Judassaith unto him, not Iscariot, Lord, how is it that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world? * Act 1:13 And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James.
Another Judas - again, not Judas Iscariot, and not "the brother of James" - is mentioned in Acts, so he is probably a third person:
* Act 5:37 After this man rose up Judas of Galilee in the days of the taxing, and drew away much people after him: he also perished; and all, even as many as obeyed him, were dispersed.
According to the Bible, Judas Iscariot was the treasurer among the twelve disciples chosen by Jesus. He was entrusted with handling the finances of the group but later betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver.
-----------------------Judas Iscariot was a Jew, and it most unusual for a Jew of the first century to have a surname (Iscariot), although it was common among Romans and Greeks.John Shelby Spong (Jesus for the NonReligious) points out that Judas is a variant of Judah, highlighting that the man who betrayed Jesus was a Jew. Iscariot seems to be based on sicarii, a Latin word for 'assassin'. Spong believes the character Judas Iscariot is probably a literary creation.
If you are asking what position Judas Iscariot held among the 12 disciples , then the position he held was a very important one, as he was the treasurer , he also was sitting at the dining table next to Jesus Christ, as he was dipping his food into the bowl near Jesus.
After Jesus ascended into heaven, the 11 apostles wanted to replace Judas Iscariot, who was dead, with someone else who had been with them the whole time Jesus had been among them. So they came up with two men: Joseph called Barsabbas and Matthias, and they prayed, cast lots, and chose Matthias. This account is given in detail in Acts 1:12-26.
In religious texts, depending on the belief system, figures such as Lucifer, also known as Satan, and Judas Iscariot are often portrayed as betrayers of God. Lucifer is said to have rebelled against God, while Judas Iscariot is known for betraying Jesus.
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.
The only unmarried apostle among the 12 disciples of Jesus was the apostle John.
The only information the Bible shares about Judas is that he was the son of Simon Iscariot (John 6:71) The term "Iscariot" indicates that they may have come from the Judean town of Kerioth-hezron. If so, then Judas was the only Judean among the 12 apostles, the rest being Galileans. But there's no definite mention of his tribe.
The 12 apostles in the Bible were Peter, Andrew, James, John, Philip, Bartholomew, Thomas, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot. They were chosen by Jesus to spread his teachings and establish the Christian faith. Each apostle played a unique role in sharing the message of Jesus, with Peter often seen as the leader among them.
After Judas Iscariot died, Matthias was chosen to become a disciple and take his place among the twelve apostles. This selection was made through a process of prayer and casting lots, as described in the Book of Acts (Acts 1:15-26). Matthias was one of the followers of Jesus from the beginning of His ministry and was a witness to His resurrection.
No, there was only one disciple named Judas among Jesus' followers.
John, the Beloved Apostle TO THE Christian familiar with his Bible, the names of the various apostles immediately bring associations with them. Matthew, the tax collector; Thomas, the doubter; Peter, the apostle with the keys; Paul, the apostle to the Gentiles; Judas Iscariot, the betrayer. And the apostle John? The beloved apostle. John was among the first four, all fishermen, called by Jesus to be his disciples. At the time Jesus called him he and his brother James were busy repairing nets in a boat with their father Zebedee. (Matt. 4:21, 22) When called by Jesus John did not ask, What will happen to my father's fishing business? How shall I provide for myself if I become Jesus' follower? Neither did he ask for time to first think it over. No, he immediately left his father and his fishing business and started on his career as a fisher of men.
