Judas Iscariot
유다 (가룟)
One of the twelve in Matthew 10:4, recorded as the one who betrayed him. The text adds Iscariot, which keeps him apart from the other person entry of the same name. Mark 14:10–11 has him go to the chief priests to deliver Jesus to them, and they promise to give him money; at 14:43–46 he comes with a multitude, says “Rabbi! Rabbi!” and kisses him, and they seize Jesus. Luke 22:3–6 says that Satan entered into Judas, who was called Iscariot and counted with the twelve, and that Judas talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver Jesus to them and sought an opportunity to do it in the absence of the multitude; at 22:47–48 Judas leads a crowd and comes near to Jesus to kiss him, and Jesus says to him, “Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?” John 6:71 says that Jesus’ words at 6:70, “Didn’t I choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?”, spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was Judas who would betray Jesus, being one of the twelve. John 12:3–6 says that when Mary had anointed Jesus’ feet, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, one of Jesus’ disciples, who would betray him, said, “Why wasn’t this ointment sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”, and that he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it. John 13:2 says that the devil had already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Jesus; at 13:26–30 Jesus dips the piece of bread and gives it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, and after the piece of bread Satan enters into Judas; Jesus says to him, “What you do, do quickly,” and some think, because Judas has the money box, that Jesus says to him, “Buy what things we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor; having received that morsel, Judas goes out immediately, and it is night. John 18:2–5 says that Judas, who betrayed Jesus, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples; Judas, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons, and was standing with those who answered Jesus, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Acts 1:15–17 has Peter, standing up in the middle of the disciples, say, “Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus. For he was counted with us, and received his portion in this ministry. Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness; and falling headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines gushed out. It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called ‘Akeldama,’ that is, ‘The field of blood.’”; and at 1:24–25 the disciples pray, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.”

- ACT 1:15–26, engwebp
15In these days, Peter stood up in the middle of the disciples (and the number of names was about one hundred twenty), and said,
16“Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus.
17For he was counted with us, and received his portion in this ministry.
18Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness; and falling headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines gushed out.
19It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called ‘Akeldama,’ that is, ‘The field of blood.’
20For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his habitation be made desolate. Let no one dwell in it;’ and, ‘Let another take his office.’
21“Of the men therefore who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,
22beginning from the baptism of John to the day that he was received up from us, of these one must become a witness with us of his resurrection.”
23They put forward two: Joseph called Barsabbas, who was also called Justus, and Matthias.
24They prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen
25to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.”
26They drew lots for them, and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was counted with the eleven apostles.

60Therefore many of his disciples, when they heard this, said, “This is a hard saying! Who can listen to it?”
61But Jesus knowing in himself that his disciples murmured at this, said to them, “Does this cause you to stumble?
62Then what if you would see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?
63It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.
64But there are some of you who don’t believe.” For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who didn’t believe, and who it was who would betray him.
65He said, “For this cause I have said to you that no one can come to me, unless it is given to him by my Father.”
66At this, many of his disciples went back and walked no more with him.
67Jesus said therefore to the twelve, “You don’t also want to go away, do you?”
68Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life.
69We have come to believe and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
70Jesus answered them, “Didn’t I choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?”
71Now he spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was he who would betray him, being one of the twelve.
- JHN 12:1–8, engwebp
1Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, who had been dead, whom he raised from the dead.
2So they made him a supper there. Martha served, but Lazarus was one of those who sat at the table with him.
3Therefore Mary took a pound of ointment of pure nard, very precious, and anointed Jesus’ feet and wiped his feet with her hair. The house was filled with the fragrance of the ointment.
4Then Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, one of his disciples, who would betray him, said,
5“Why wasn’t this ointment sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”
6Now he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it.
7But Jesus said, “Leave her alone. She has kept this for the day of my burial.
8For you always have the poor with you, but you don’t always have me.”
- JHN 13:1–11, engwebp
1Now before the feast of the Passover, Jesus, knowing that his time had come that he would depart from this world to the Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
2During supper, the devil having already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him,
3Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God,
4arose from supper, and laid aside his outer garments. He took a towel and wrapped a towel around his waist.
5Then he poured water into the basin, and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
6Then he came to Simon Peter. He said to him, “Lord, do you wash my feet?”
7Jesus answered him, “You don’t know what I am doing now, but you will understand later.”
8Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet!” Jesus answered him, “If I don’t wash you, you have no part with me.”
9Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only, but also my hands and my head!”
10Jesus said to him, “Someone who has bathed only needs to have his feet washed, but is completely clean. You are clean, but not all of you.”
11For he knew him who would betray him; therefore he said, “You are not all clean.”
- JHN 13:21–30, engwebp
21When Jesus had said this, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”
22The disciples looked at one another, perplexed about whom he spoke.
23One of his disciples, whom Jesus loved, was at the table, leaning against Jesus’ chest.
24Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, and said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom he speaks.”
25He, leaning back, as he was, on Jesus’ chest, asked him, “Lord, who is it?”
26Jesus therefore answered, “It is he to whom I will give this piece of bread when I have dipped it.” So when he had dipped the piece of bread, he gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.
27After the piece of bread, then Satan entered into him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.”
28Now nobody at the table knew why he said this to him.
29For some thought, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus said to him, “Buy what things we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor.
30Therefore having received that morsel, he went out immediately. It was night.
- JHN 18:1–11, engwebp
1When Jesus had spoken these words, he went out with his disciples over the brook Kidron, where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered.
2Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples.
3Judas then, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.
4Jesus therefore, knowing all the things that were happening to him, went out and said to them, “Who are you looking for?”
5They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” Judas also, who betrayed him, was standing with them.
6When therefore he said to them, “I am he,” they went backward and fell to the ground.
7Again therefore he asked them, “Who are you looking for?” They said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”
8Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way,”
9that the word might be fulfilled which he spoke, “Of those whom you have given me, I have lost none.”
10Simon Peter therefore, having a sword, drew it, struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.
11Jesus therefore said to Peter, “Put the sword into its sheath. The cup which the Father has given me, shall I not surely drink it?”
- LUK 6:12–16, engwebp
12In these days, he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God.
13When it was day, he called his disciples, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles:
14Simon, whom he also named Peter; Andrew, his brother; James; John; Philip; Bartholomew;
15Matthew; Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus; Simon who was called the Zealot;
16Judas the son of James; and Judas Iscariot, who also became a traitor.
- LUK 22:3–6, engwebp
3Satan entered into Judas, who was also called Iscariot, who was counted with the twelve.
4He went away and talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver him to them.
5They were glad, and agreed to give him money.
6He consented and sought an opportunity to deliver him to them in the absence of the multitude.
- LUK 22:47–53, engwebp
47While he was still speaking, a crowd appeared. He who was called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Jesus to kiss him.
48But Jesus said to him, “Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”
49When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said to him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”
50A certain one of them struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
51But Jesus answered, “Let me at least do this”—and he touched his ear and healed him.
52Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and elders, who had come against him, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?
53When I was with you in the temple daily, you didn’t stretch out your hands against me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.”
- MAT 10:1–4, engwebp
1He called to himself his twelve disciples, and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every disease and every sickness.
2Now the names of the twelve apostles are these. The first, Simon, who is called Peter; Andrew, his brother; James the son of Zebedee; John, his brother;
3Philip; Bartholomew; Thomas; Matthew the tax collector; James the son of Alphaeus; Lebbaeus, who was also called Thaddaeus;
4Simon the Zealot; and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him.
- MAT 26:14–16, engwebp
14Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
15and said, “What are you willing to give me if I deliver him to you?” So they weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver.
16From that time he sought opportunity to betray him.
- MAT 26:17–30, engwebp
17Now on the first day of unleavened bread, the disciples came to Jesus, saying to him, “Where do you want us to prepare for you to eat the Passover?”
18He said, “Go into the city to a certain person, and tell him, ‘The Teacher says, “My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.”’”
19The disciples did as Jesus commanded them, and they prepared the Passover.
20Now when evening had come, he was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples.
21As they were eating, he said, “Most certainly I tell you that one of you will betray me.”
22They were exceedingly sorrowful, and each began to ask him, “It isn’t me, is it, Lord?”
23He answered, “He who dipped his hand with me in the dish will betray me.
24The Son of Man goes even as it is written of him, but woe to that man through whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would be better for that man if he had not been born.”
25Judas, who betrayed him, answered, “It isn’t me, is it, Rabbi?” He said to him, “You said it.”
26As they were eating, Jesus took bread, gave thanks for it, and broke it. He gave to the disciples and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.”
27He took the cup, gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, “All of you drink it,
28for this is my blood of the new covenant, which is poured out for many for the remission of sins.
29But I tell you that I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on, until that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father’s Kingdom.”
30When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
- MAT 26:47–56, engwebp
47While he was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, “Whoever I kiss, he is the one. Seize him.”
49Immediately he came to Jesus, and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed him.
50Jesus said to him, “Friend, why are you here?” Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
51Behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
52Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place, for all those who take the sword will die by the sword.
53Or do you think that I couldn’t ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?
54How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?”
55In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me.
56But all this has happened that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him and fled.
- MAT 27:1–10, engwebp
1Now when morning had come, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death.
2They bound him, led him away, and delivered him up to Pontius Pilate, the governor.
3Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that Jesus was condemned, felt remorse, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
4saying, “I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood.” But they said, “What is that to us? You see to it.”
5He threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary and departed. Then he went away and hanged himself.
6The chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, “It’s not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood.”
7They took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them to bury strangers in.
8Therefore that field has been called “The Field of Blood” to this day.
9Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, “They took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of him upon whom a price had been set, whom some of the children of Israel priced,
10and they gave them for the potter’s field, as the Lord commanded me.”
- MRK 3:13–19, engwebp
13He went up into the mountain and called to himself those whom he wanted, and they went to him.
14He appointed twelve, that they might be with him, and that he might send them out to preach
15and to have authority to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons:
16Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter);
17James the son of Zebedee; and John, the brother of James, (whom he called Boanerges, which means, Sons of Thunder);
18Andrew; Philip; Bartholomew; Matthew; Thomas; James, the son of Alphaeus; Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot;
19and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him. Then he came into a house.
- MRK 14:10–11, engwebp
10Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, that he might deliver him to them.
11They, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. He sought how he might conveniently deliver him.
- MRK 14:43–52, engwebp
43Immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came—and with him a multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders.
44Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I will kiss, that is he. Seize him, and lead him away safely.”
45When he had come, immediately he came to him and said, “Rabbi! Rabbi!” and kissed him.
46They laid their hands on him and seized him.
47But a certain one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
48Jesus answered them, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to seize me?
49I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you didn’t arrest me. But this is so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled.”
50They all left him, and fled.
51A certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth thrown around himself over his naked body. The young men grabbed him,
52but he left the linen cloth and fled from them naked.

Unresolved interpretation: Who bought the field of blood, and what happened to Judas: Matthew 27:3–8 and Acts 1:16–19
- Matthew 27:3–8 says that Judas, who betrayed Jesus, brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, threw down the pieces of silver in the sanctuary, departed, and went away and hanged himself; the chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, “It’s not lawful to put them into the treasury, since it is the price of blood,” took counsel, and bought the potter’s field with them to bury strangers in; therefore that field has been called “The Field of Blood” to this day.

Matthew says that the chief priests bought the field with the silver, and Acts that Judas (“this man”) obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness, and the two books tell differently what happened to Judas. This collection keeps the field Matthew calls “The Field of Blood” and the field Acts calls “Akeldama,” that is, “The field of blood,” as one entry, and leaves who bought the field and what happened to Judas as each book tells it, without making the two accounts one.

[Bibliadatum entry report] Entry: Judas Iscariot (person-judas-iscariot) Address: https://bibliadatum.org/en/wiki/person/judas-iscariot Current wording: One of the twelve in Matthew 10:4, recorded as the one who betrayed him. The text adds Iscariot, which keeps him apart from the other person entry of the same name. Mark 14:10–11 has him go to the chief priests to deliver Jesus to them, and they promise to give him money; at 14:43–46 he comes with a multitude, says “Rabbi! Rabbi!” and kisses him, and they seize Jesus. Luke 22:3–6 says that Satan entered into Judas, who was called Iscariot and counted with the twelve, and that Judas talked with the chief priests and captains about how he might deliver Jesus to them and sought an opportunity to do it in the absence of the multitude; at 22:47–48 Judas leads a crowd and comes near to Jesus to kiss him, and Jesus says to him, “Judas, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?” John 6:71 says that Jesus’ words at 6:70, “Didn’t I choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?”, spoke of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for it was Judas who would betray Jesus, being one of the twelve. John 12:3–6 says that when Mary had anointed Jesus’ feet, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, one of Jesus’ disciples, who would betray him, said, “Why wasn’t this ointment sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?”, and that he said this, not because he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and having the money box, used to steal what was put into it. John 13:2 says that the devil had already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray Jesus; at 13:26–30 Jesus dips the piece of bread and gives it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, and after the piece of bread Satan enters into Judas; Jesus says to him, “What you do, do quickly,” and some think, because Judas has the money box, that Jesus says to him, “Buy what things we need for the feast,” or that he should give something to the poor; having received that morsel, Judas goes out immediately, and it is night. John 18:2–5 says that Judas, who betrayed Jesus, also knew the place, for Jesus often met there with his disciples; Judas, having taken a detachment of soldiers and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons, and was standing with those who answered Jesus, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Acts 1:15–17 has Peter, standing up in the middle of the disciples, say, “Brothers, it was necessary that this Scripture should be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit spoke before by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who was guide to those who took Jesus. For he was counted with us, and received his portion in this ministry. Now this man obtained a field with the reward for his wickedness; and falling headlong, his body burst open and all his intestines gushed out. It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called ‘Akeldama,’ that is, ‘The field of blood.’”; and at 1:24–25 the disciples pray, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two you have chosen to take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas fell away, that he might go to his own place.” Cited evidence: ACT 1:15–26, engwebp / JHN 6:60–71, engwebp / JHN 12:1–8, engwebp / JHN 13:1–11, engwebp / JHN 13:21–30, engwebp / JHN 18:1–11, engwebp / LUK 6:12–16, engwebp / LUK 22:3–6, engwebp (and 9 more of 17) Review state: ai-assisted / human-review-pending What looks wrong: (not written yet) --- This collection records what the text says and does not settle interpretation.
