Senses in use

  1. Designation identifying Judas · dominant

    The form identifies Judas in naming clauses: in Matthew 10:4 the APB renders “Judas Iscariot,” and in Luke 6:16 it distinguishes him from “Judas son of James.” In John 13:2 and John 13:26, the genitive form occurs in the description “Judas son of Simon Iscariot”; John 14:22 explicitly marks the other Judas as “not Iscariot.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB regularly presents the term as “Iscariot” alongside Judas’s name, including “Judas (not Iscariot)” in John 14:22. These renderings confirm the naming context rather than isolate every contribution of the term.
