John 6:71

6:71 (Now he said this about Judas son of Simon Iscariot, ¹  for Judas, ²  one of the twelve, was going to betray him.) ³ 

John 12:4

12:4 But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples (the one who was going to betray him) ⁴  said,

John 13:2

13:2 The evening meal ⁵  was in progress, and the devil had already put into the heart ⁶  of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, that he should betray ⁷  Jesus. ⁸ 

John 14:22

14:22 “Lord,” Judas (not Judas Iscariot) ⁹  said, ¹⁰  “what has happened that you are going to reveal ¹¹  yourself to us and not to the world?”

John 13:26

13:26 Jesus replied, ¹²  “It is the one to whom I will give this piece of bread ¹³  after I have dipped it in the dish.” ¹⁴  Then he dipped the piece of bread in the dish ¹⁵  and gave it to Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son.

[6:71]  ¹ sn At least six explanations for the name Iscariot have been proposed, but it is probably transliterated Hebrew with the meaning “man of Kerioth” (there are at least two villages that had that name). See D. A. Carson, John, 304.

[6:71]  ² tn Grk “this one”; the referent (Judas) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[6:71]  ³ sn This parenthetical statement by the author helps the reader understand Jesus’ statement one of you is the devil in the previous verse. This is the first mention of Judas in the Fourth Gospel, and he is immediately identified (as he is in the synoptic gospels, Matt 10:4, Mark 3:19, Luke 6:16) as the one who would betray Jesus.

[12:4]  ⁴ sn This is a parenthetical note by the author.

[13:2]  ⁷ tn Or “Supper.” To avoid possible confusion because of different regional English usage regarding the distinction between “dinner” and “supper” as an evening meal, the translation simply refers to “the evening meal.”

[13:2]  ⁸ sn At this point the devil had already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, that he should betray Jesus. C. K. Barrett (St. John, 365) thought this was a reference to the idea entering the devil’s own heart, but this does not seem likely. It is more probable that Judas’ heart is meant, since the use of the Greek article (rather than a possessive pronoun) is a typical idiom when a part of one’s own body is indicated. Judas’ name is withheld until the end of the sentence for dramatic effect (emphasis). This action must be read in light of 13:27, and appears to refer to a preliminary idea or plan.

[13:2]  ⁹ tn Or “that he should hand over.”

[13:2]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “betray him”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[14:22]  ¹⁰ tn Grk “(not Iscariot).” The proper noun (Judas) has been repeated for clarity and smoothness in English style.

[14:22]  ¹¹ tn Grk “said to him.”

[14:22]  ¹² tn Or “disclose.”

[13:26]  ¹³ tn Grk “Jesus answered.”

[13:26]  ¹⁴ sn The piece of bread was a broken-off piece of bread (not merely a crumb).

[13:26]  ¹⁵ tn Grk “after I have dipped it.” The words “in the dish” are not in the Greek text, but the presence of a bowl or dish is implied.

[13:26]  ¹⁶ tn The words “in the dish” are not in the Greek text, but the presence of a bowl or dish is implied.
