Ioudas is a name borne by several men and, in other contexts, by Judah as a family, tribe, or place designation.

The term most often identifies Judas Iscariot in accounts of his place among the twelve and his delivery of Jesus; it also names other men, while several genitive occurrences designate Judah in genealogical, tribal, and geographic expressions.

1. Judas Iscariot in the betrayal accounts · dominant

   The nominative and accusative forms identify the member of the twelve called Iscariot. In John 6:71 the APB renders the clause as speaking of Judas son of Simon Iscariot who was about to deliver Jesus, and in Matthew 27:3 it depicts Judas returning the money after seeing that Jesus had been condemned.

   John 6:71Matthew 26:14Matthew 26:25Matthew 27:3Mark 14:10Luke 22:48
2. Personal name for other men · common

   The same name identifies several people distinguished by context: Judas son of James appears in the list in Acts 1:13, Judas Barsabbas is sent with Silas in Acts 15:22, and Judas the Galilean draws followers in Acts 5:37. In Jude 1:1, the nominative form opens the letter with Judas identified as a slave of Jesus Christ and brother of James.

   Acts 1:13Acts 15:22Acts 15:32Acts 5:37Acts 9:11Jude 1:1
3. Judah in ancestral, tribal, and place expressions · occasional

   Genitive forms occur in expressions that locate or identify Judah rather than an individual in the immediate narrative. Hebrews 7:14 speaks of arising from Judah, Hebrews 8:8 names the house of Judah, and Matthew 2:6 places Bethlehem in the land of Judas while also referring to Judah.

   Matthew 1:2Matthew 2:6Hebrews 7:14Hebrews 8:8Revelation 5:5Revelation 7:5

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB normally presents the name as “Judas,” adding distinguishing descriptions such as “Iscariot” or “son of James” where the verse supplies them. In contexts concerning Judah, it renders the same form as “Judah” or, in Matthew 2:6, “Judas”; These renderings reflect the whole clauses rather than a fixed English equivalent.
