Judas
In the Bible, the name "Judas" is associated with several figures, the most notorious being Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve apostles who betrayed Jesus Christ. The name itself is of Hebrew origin, derived from "Yehudah," meaning "praised" or "let God be praised." This name carries significant cultural and religious weight, as it is linked to the tribe of Judah, from which King David and, according to the New Testament, Jesus himself descended (Matthew 1:2-16).Judas Iscariot's betrayal is a pivotal event in the New Testament, leading to Jesus' arrest and crucifixion (Matthew 26:14-16, 47-50). His actions were motivated by greed, as he accepted thirty pieces of silver to betray Jesus (Matthew 26:15). The term "Judas" has since become synonymous with betrayal and treachery in Christian discourse. Other figures named Judas in the New Testament include Judas, the son of James (also known as Thaddeus) and Judas the Galilean, who led a revolt against Roman taxation (Acts 5:37). Each of these characters adds layers to the understanding of the name and its implications within biblical narratives.
