Matthew Chapter 9:36-10:42 – Jesus Prepares and Commissions the Twelve Apostles
Part 5 – Matthew 10:3 – Judas Iscariot
Review:
In Matthew 9:37-38, Jesus declares to His disciples that it is time to increase the shepherds because the
people were distressed and dispirited by the Pharisees and scribes who were not shepherding the people in
accordance with the Law.
Fortunately, Jesus had been training shepherds as their replacement.
The apostles and other disciples are
called to be gentle, merciful, peacemakers; they are salt and light and Jesus is not only training them in the
message of the kingdom but also telling them that they will receive power to do the same actions as He does
to validate their message of the kingdom of heaven.
So far, we have discussed Peter, James, John, Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew (Nathanael), Thomas, Matthew,
James, son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus (Jude, son of James), and Simon the Zealot.
This group will be known
as the Eleven.
Judas Iscariot:
As stated previously, his name is Judah, a very popular name.
Eight different men have that name in
the New Testament.
This one is a disciple of Jesus, also called an apostle (one who is sent out).
He is
only mentioned as doing anything significant in two major instances.
In the Gospels, he is the son of Simon (another popular name in Israel).
Iscariot may have many
derivatives.
This could have been the patriarch who was well known in Israel as a son of Simon, son
of Iscariot.
John 6:71 – Judah of Simon of Iscariot.
Iscariot may also be a location.
Many believe
that this is the “men of Kerioth,” which would have been a town in Moab (Jeremiah 48:24; Amos
2:2).
However, this name is not mentioned in the LXX, and the origin of this name (patriarch or
hometown) is lost to history.
In Christendom, no one is more despised than Judas.
Satan may be the adversary, but Judas is the
betrayer.
He is seen in both religious and secular cultures as a viscerally hated character in all of
history.
Judas even has a place in the dictionary: traitor; one who betrays under the guise of friendship.
There is nothing in the text that indicates his profession before being called to be an apostle.
John
12:3-6 states that Judas oversaw the money box but was a thief and would pilfer what had been
given to the ministry.
Also, in Matthew 26:14-16 (Mark 14:10; Luke 22:3-6), Judas went to the chief
priests not to simply betray Jesus but to get paid for the deed.
Judas was probably a corrupt businessman or a simple thief that lived his life trying to look for
opportunities to steal.
He is called to be a disciple and follows Jesus.
He remains with Jesus for about 3 years.
He stayed
with Jesus during His ministry, even when Jesus’s words drove people away.
