Simon of Canaan, and Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him.

Is not this the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? And his brethren be called, James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?

Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,

Then Judas, which betrayed him, answered and said, "Is it I, master?" He said unto him, "Thou hast said."

While he yet spake, Lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came: and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, which were sent from the chief priests and elders of the people.

Then when Judas, which betrayed him, saw that he was condemned, he repented himself; and brought again the thirty plates of silver to the chief priests and elders,

and Judas Iscariot, which same also betrayed him.

Is not this that carpenter: Mary's son, the brother of James, and Joseph and of Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?" And they were offended by the reason of him.

And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went away unto the high priests, to betray him unto them.

And Jesus said unto him, "Judas, betrayest thou the son of man with a kiss?"

He spake it of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. For he it was that should betray him, and was one of the twelve.

Then said one of his disciples named Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, which afterward betrayed him,

Jesus answered, "He it is to whom I give a sop, when I have dipped it." And he wet a sop, and gave it to Judas Iscariot, Simon's son.

Some of them thought, because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, "Buy those things that we have need of against the feast," or that he should give something to the poor.

Judas said unto him - not Judas Iscariot - "Lord what is the cause that thou wilt show thyself unto us, and not unto the world?"
