Judas had to identify Jesus :-
Mat 26:47-50 KJV And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people. [v. 48] Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast. [v. 49] And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him. [v. 50] And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
Even though it was Passover and therefore there was a full moon, it was still night so there would have been plenty of shadow since they were in the garden of Gethsame full of olive trees, and in the gloom Christ could have been any one of a dozen bearded men of the same height and type of clothes.
Because He had been a builder and carpenter until He was 30 years old, working with heavy stone and timber with no power tools or mechanical digging equipment, He would have been a tanned, muscular, physically-fit young man in practical clothing looking just like everyone else who were with Him when He was arrested. There was nothing remarkable about His appearance:-
Isa 53:2 KJV ...he hath no form nor comeliness; ... there is no beauty that we should desire him.
Other newer translations may make this plainer:-
He had no " beauty [ASV], dignity... attractive[ness] [GNB], magnificence [LITV], majesty [MKJV], stately form" [NET]
He didn't stand out because He could melt into a crowd and be unnoticeable - (He didn't need to wave a magic wand):-
Luk 4:30 KJV But he passing through the midst of them went his way...
He didn't stand out because of long and flowing hair because Paul wrote in 1 Corinthians 11:14 "if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him", and Paul wouldn't have written that if Christ had long hair.

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.
Matthew 13:55 - Is this not the carpenter's son? Is not His mother called Mary? And His brothersJames, Joses,Simon, and Judas?[NKJV]
Yes. There are actually several people named Judas connected to Jesus.**The son of James was named Judas(aka: Thaddeus): Luke 6:16; John 14:22; Acts 1:13**Jesus half-brother was called Judas(Matthew13:55; Mark 6:3), but he did not become a disciple of Jesus until after Jesus' death(John 7:5). This can be seen since Jesus left the care of his mother to John, and not to his own brothers, at that point(John 19:26, 27)**Jesus' betrayer is called specifically, Judas Iscariot.(Matthew 10:4)(Matthew 26:14-15)(John 6:71)
Jesus had two disciples called Judas. One was Judas Iscariot, the other was just called Judas. Judas Iscariot is not known as Jesus brother, actually, he was the follower of Jesus that betrayed him to the Pharisees.
He may have known it . As Jesus tells Judas What you do please do it quiockly.
Judas betrayed Jesus on the night of Holy Thursday, also known as Maundy Thursday.
Two. Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus and Judas identified as the 'brother of James' and also as Thaddeus.
The idea that Jesus revealed "secrets" to Judas that He revealed to no one else is not biblical. In fact, Judas was dead when Jesus "opened the understanding" of the apostles (Luke 24:45), so the fullest truth was never known to Judas.
Judas is mostly known for being the disciple that betrays Jesus. His betrayal occurs when he tells the Roman soldiers and the Jewish leaders that wanted to get of Jesus about Jesus' whereabouts. Judas is also known for committing suicide after he becomes aware of the impact that his actions were going to make.He also did that knowing Jesus can save himself or defend himself
Judas, not Iscariot, was one of the twelve disciples of Jesus. He is also known as Thaddeus or Lebbaeus. Judas played a minor role in the events leading up to Jesus' crucifixion, as he asked Jesus during the Last Supper why he would reveal himself to the disciples and not to the world.

What does "enter" mean? Take over? Influence? Did Judas still have free will? * Luke 22:3 Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve. 22:4 And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them. ---- Judas made a concious decision himself to allow himself to be tempted by money and then betray Jesus! The bible says that it is better to have NEVER known Him (Jesus) than to have known him and then dis-own him. But that's what Judas did. He had known salvation from hearing and learning first-hand from Jesus and yet chose to give it up for 30 pieces of silver? It was his choice - and a bad one!
No, Saint Jude did not sell Jesus. Judas Iscariot was the disciple who betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver. Saint Jude is known for being one of the twelve apostles of Jesus and is often invoked as the patron saint of desperate and impossible situations.
