Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot, and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.”
John 6:71 “He spoke of Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the twelve, was to betray him.” John 13:26 Jesus answered, "It is he to whom I shall give this morsel when I have dipped it." So when he had dipped the morsel, he gave it to Judas, the son of
Simon Iscariot.
