Iscariot

Iscariot
Always applied in the gospels to Judas who betrayed Jesus to distinguish him from another Judas among the apostles. Iscariot may mean ‘man from Kerioth’; or there is a suggestion in one ancient MS which connects it with the Latin sicarius, which could imply that Judas was one of the daggermen, that is the Zealots, as they were later known, nationalists who favoured armed rebellion against the Romans. See Judas 4).
