Strong's Lexicon Iskariótés: Iscariot Original Word: Ἰσκαριώτης Word Origin: Derived from Hebrew origins, likely from אִישׁ קְרִיּוֹת (Ish Kerioth), meaning "man of Kerioth." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew origin is likely linked to אִישׁ (H376) meaning "man" and קְרִיּוֹת (H7152) referring to "Kerioth," a location in Judah. Usage: The term "Iscariot" is used in the New Testament to identify Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ. He is most notably recognized for betraying Jesus to the religious authorities for thirty pieces of silver, leading to Jesus' arrest and crucifixion. The name "Iscariot" distinguishes him from other individuals named Judas in the New Testament. Cultural and Historical Background: Judas Iscariot is traditionally understood to be from Kerioth, a town in Judea, which sets him apart from the other apostles who were primarily from Galilee. His actions are seen as fulfilling Old Testament prophecies regarding betrayal. Judas' betrayal is a pivotal event in the Passion narrative, highlighting themes of treachery, repentance, and the fulfillment of divine prophecy.
