Luke 6:16

LUKE—NOTE ON Luke 6:16 Judas the son of James does not appear in the parallel accounts in Matthew 10:3 and Mark 3:18. In his place is “Thaddaeus,” which is probably his other name (many of the apostles had double names). The name for the other Judas was qualified by Iscariot, which probably means “man from Kerioth,” a town in Judea (see John 6:71; John 13:26). who became a traitor. See Luke 22:3, Luke 22:47; Acts 1:16.
