3. another of Christ's ancestors, equally unknown: Luke 3:30.
4. Judas surnamed the Galilaean, a man who at the time of the census under Quirinus (better Quirinius), excited a revolt in Galilee: Acts 5:37 (Josephus, Antiquities 18, 1, 1, where he is called ὁ Γαυλανιτης because he came from the city Gamala, near the Lake of Galilee in lower Gaulanitis; but he is called also ὁ Γαλιλαῖος by Josephus, Antiquities 18, 1, 6; 20, 5, 2; b. j. 2, 8, 1).
5. (Judas) a certain Jew of Damascus: Acts 9:11.
6. Judas surnamed Ἰσκαριώτης (which see), of Carioth (from the city of Kerioth, Joshua 15:25; Jeremiah 31:41 (Jer. 48:41); Amos 2:2; (but see BB. DD. under the word ); some manuscripts in John 6:71 (cf. Tdf.'s note at the passage cited); John 12:4, read ἀπό Καριωτου instead of Ἰσκαριώτης), the son of one Simon (who in John 6:71 L T Tr WH; John 13:26 T Tr WH, is himself surnamed Ἰσκαριώτης), one of the apostles of Jesus, who betrayed him: Matthew 10:4; Matthew 26:14, 25, 47; Matthew 27:3; Mark 3:19; Mark 14:10, 43; Luke 6:16; Luke 22:3, 47; John 6:71; John 12:4; John 13:2, 26, 29; John 18:2ff,John 18:5; Acts 1:16, 25.

9. Judas, the brother of our Lord: Matthew 13:55; Mark 6:3, and very probably Jude 1:1; see Ἰάκωβος, 3.
