Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: The term Ἰσκαριώτης is derived from the Hebrew phrase אִישׁ קְרִיּוֹת (Ish Kerioth), meaning "man of Kerioth." Kerioth is a town in Judea, suggesting a geographical origin for the individual associated with this name.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew origin of Ἰσκαριώτης is linked to the term אִישׁ קְרִיּוֹת (Ish Kerioth), which can be associated with Strong's Hebrew entries:
H376 אִישׁ (ish) • meaning "man"
H7152 קְרִיּוֹת (Qeriyoth) • referring to "Kerioth," a town in Judea

This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the term Ἰσκαριώτης, its origins, and its significance within the New Testament narrative.

Usage: The term appears in the New Testament to specifically refer to Judas Iscariot. It is used in contexts that highlight his role as a disciple and his subsequent betrayal of Jesus.

Context: Judas Iscariot is one of the most well-known figures in the New Testament due to his betrayal of Jesus Christ. He is consistently listed among the twelve apostles in the Gospels and is often identified with the epithet Ἰσκαριώτης to distinguish him from other individuals named Judas.
• The Gospels provide various insights into Judas's character and actions. In the Gospel of John, Judas is described as the keeper of the money bag and is accused of theft (John 12:6). His betrayal is foretold by Jesus during the Last Supper, where Jesus identifies him as the betrayer (Matthew 26:25, John 13:26).
• Judas's betrayal is a pivotal event in the Passion narrative. He agrees to betray Jesus to the chief priests for thirty pieces of silver (Matthew 26:14-16). His act of betrayal is symbolized by a kiss in the Garden of Gethsemane, leading to Jesus's arrest (Matthew 26:47-49).
• The aftermath of Judas's betrayal is marked by remorse and despair. According to Matthew 27:3-5, Judas attempts to return the silver and ultimately takes his own life. His death is also mentioned in Acts 1:18-19, where it is described in graphic terms.
• Judas Iscariot's legacy is one of infamy, serving as a cautionary tale about the dangers of greed, betrayal, and the consequences of turning away from Christ.
