Abraham fathered Isaac,
Isaac fathered Jacob,
Jacob fathered Judah and his brothers,

Judah fathered Perez and Zerah by Tamar,
Perez fathered Hezron,
Hezron fathered Aram,

And you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
are by no means least among the leaders of Judah:
because out of you will come a leader
who will shepherd My people Israel.”

Simon the Zealot, and Judas Iscariot,
who also betrayed Him.

Isn’t this the carpenter’s son? Isn’t His mother called Mary, and His brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?

Then one of the Twelve—the man called Judas Iscariot—went to the chief priests

Then Judas, His betrayer, replied, “Surely not I, Rabbi?”

“You have said it,” He told him.

While He was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, suddenly arrived. A large mob, with swords and clubs, was with him from the chief priests and elders of the people.

Then Judas, His betrayer, seeing that He had been condemned, was full of remorse and returned the 30 pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders.

and Judas Iscariot,
who also betrayed Him.

Isn’t this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and the brother of James, Joses, Judas, and Simon? And aren’t His sisters here with us?” So they were offended by Him.

Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the chief priests to hand Him over to them.

While He was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, suddenly arrived. With him was a mob, with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders.

In those days Mary set out and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judah

son of Simeon, son of Judah,
son of Joseph, son of Jonam,
son of Eliakim,

son of Amminadab,
son of Ram, son of Hezron,
son of Perez, son of Judah,

Judas the son of James,
and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, who was numbered among the Twelve.

While He was still speaking, suddenly a mob was there, and one of the Twelve named Judas was leading them. He came near Jesus to kiss Him,

but Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”

He was referring to Judas, Simon Iscariot’s son, one of the Twelve, because he was going to betray Him.

Then one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot (who was about to betray Him), said,

Now by the time of supper, the Devil had already put it into the heart of Judas, Simon Iscariot’s son, to betray Him.

Jesus replied, “He’s the one I give the piece of bread to after I have dipped it.” When He had dipped the bread, He gave it to Judas, Simon Iscariot’s son.

After Judas ate the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Therefore Jesus told him, “What you’re doing, do quickly.”

Since Judas kept the money-bag, some thought that Jesus was telling him, “Buy what we need for the festival,” or that he should give something to the poor.

Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it You’re going to reveal Yourself to us and not to the world?”

Judas, who betrayed Him, also knew the place, because Jesus often met there with His disciples.

So Judas took a company of soldiers and some temple police from the chief priests and the Pharisees and came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons.

“Jesus the Nazarene,” they answered.

“I am He,” Jesus told them.

Judas, who betrayed Him, was also standing with them.

When they arrived, they went to the room upstairs where they were staying:

Peter, John,
James, Andrew,
Philip, Thomas,
Bartholomew, Matthew,
James the son of Alphaeus,
Simon the Zealot,
and Judas the son of James.

“Brothers, the Scripture had to be fulfilled that the Holy Spirit through the mouth of David spoke in advance about Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus.

to take the place in this apostolic service that Judas left to go to his own place.”

After this man, Judas the Galilean rose up in the days of the census and attracted a following. That man also perished, and all his partisans were scattered.

“Get up and go to the street called Straight,” the Lord said to him, “to the house of Judas, and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, since he is praying there.

Then the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, decided to select men who were among them and to send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas: Judas, called Barsabbas, and Silas, both leading men among the brothers.

Therefore we have sent Judas and Silas, who will personally report the same things by word of mouth.

Both Judas and Silas, who were also prophets themselves, encouraged the brothers and strengthened them with a long message.

Now it is evident that our Lord came from Judah, and Moses said nothing about that tribe concerning priests.

But finding fault with His people, He says:

Look, the days are coming, says the Lord,
when I will make a new covenant
with the house of Israel
and with the house of Judah—

Then one of the elders said to me, “Stop crying. Look! The Lion from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has been victorious so that He may open the scroll and its seven seals.”

12,000 sealed from the tribe of Judah,
12,000 from the tribe of Reuben,
12,000 from the tribe of Gad,
