The Key Word παραδίδωμι, paradidōmigenerated

The word παραδίδωμι (i.e., *paradidōmi*) is a verb meaning to hand over or deliver. In this context, it specifically refers to Judas Iscariot's act of betrayal, which entails delivering Jesus to the authorities.

This verb is in the second aorist active participle form, indicating a completed action. The implication is that Judas not only delivered Jesus but did so with intent, marking a pivotal moment in the Gospel narrative.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

In the Berean Standard Bible, the phrase used is who betrayed, which is also reflected in the KJV and ASV. These translations maintain the focus on Judas's act of betrayal.

However, the Young's Literal Translation uses who did also deliver him up, emphasizing the act of delivering rather than the betrayal itself. The WEB also aligns with the BSB in using who also betrayed, while the BBE refers to Judas as who was false to him, introducing a different nuance.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The verse consists of two main clauses connected by the conjunction καὶ (i.e., *kai*), which means 'and.' The first clause identifies Simon the Zealot, while the second clause identifies Judas Iscariot as the one who betrayed Jesus.

The structure highlights the importance of both apostles in the context of Jesus' ministry, with Judas's betrayal being a significant point of focus.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

In the Septuagint, the name Ἰούδας (Ioudas) is used 84 times and corresponds to the Hebrew יְהוּדָה (Yehudah), which appears 75 times. This connection emphasizes the significance of Judas as a descendant of Judah, a tribe with a prominent role in Israel's history.

The term παραδοὺς (paradidōmi) translates to 'having betrayed' and is used 103 times in the LXX. It often corresponds to Hebrew terms like נָתַן (natan), meaning 'give', and יָד (yad), meaning 'hand'. This choice of wording in the context of betrayal highlights the act of handing over or delivering someone into the hands of another, which is central to Judas's role in the betrayal of Jesus.

4. Simon the Cananæan (not Canaanite), or Zelotes, equivalent terms. The fierce party of the Zealots professed a rigid attachment to the Mosaic law; they acknowledged no king save God. Under Judas the Gaulonite they rose in rebellion at the time of the census. We hear of a Theudas (which is another form of Thaddæus) who rose in rebellion (Acts 5:36). Is it not possible that this Lebbæus or Jude may owe his third name to this patriot, as a Galilæan might regard him? It may be observed that Simon (Joseph. Ant. xvii. 10, 5) and Judas (Ant. XVIII. 1, 1) were also names of zealous patriots who rose against the Roman government. Iscariot] Man of Kerioth, in the tribe of Judah; accordingly (if…

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac

Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.

Latin VulgateAD 382–405

Simon Chananæus, et Judas Iscariotes, qui et tradidit eum.

Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

Simon

The abbreviated form of Simeon. (1.) One of the twelve apostles, called the Canaanite (Matt. 10:4; Mark 3:18). This word “Canaanite” does not mean a native of Canaan, but is derived from the Syriac word Kanean or Kaneniah, which was the name of a Jewish sect. The Revised Version has “Cananaean;” marg., “or Zealot” He is also called “Zelotes” (Luke 6:15; Acts 1:13; R.V., “the Zealot”), because previous to his call to the apostleship he had been a member of the fanatical sect of the Zealots. There is no record regarding him.

(2.) The father of Judas Iscariot (John 6:71; 13:2, 26).

(contracted form of Simeon, a hearing). Son of Mattathias. [MACCABEES] Son of Onias the high priest, whose eulogy closes the "praise of famous men" in the book of Ecclesiasticus, ch. 4. (B.C. 302-293.) A "governor of the temple" in the time of Seleucus Philopator, whose information as to the treasures of the temple led to the sacrilegious attach of Heliordorus. 2 Macc. 3:4, etc. (B.C. 175.) Simon the brother of Jesus. The only undoubted notice of this Simon occurs in (Matthew 13:55; Mark 6:3) He has been identified by some writers with Simon the Canaanite, and still more generally with Symeon who became bishop of Jerusalem after the death of James, A.D. 62. The former of these opinions rests on no evidence whatever, nor is the later without its difficulties. Simon the Canaanite…

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

1. One of the twelve apostles. See PETER.

2. The Canaanite, or Zelotes, one of the twelve apostles. See ZELOTES.

3. One of the "brethren" of Jesus, Mt 13:55 Mr 6:3. He is by some supposed to be the same with the preceding Simon Zelotes. See JAMES 3.

4. The Cyrenian, who was compelled to aid in bearing the cross of Jesus, Mt 27:32, probably on account of his known attachment to His cause. He was "the father of Alexander and Rufus," Mr 15:21; and from the cordial salutation of Paul, Ro 16:13, it would seem that the family afterwards resided at Rome, and that their labor of love was not forgotten by God.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.

1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.

This he calls the preaching of the cross.

2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.

3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

The word Κανανναῖος (i.e., Kananaios) refers to a Canaanite or Zealot, derived from Hebrew roots meaning 'zealous.' It appears in the New Testament in Matthew 10:4 and Mark 3:18. The lexicons indicate some confusion over its derivation, with suggestions that it may also relate to a term for 'zealot' or 'emulator.'

Abbott-Smith, Manual Greek Lexicon of the NT

Καναναῖος. Dalman (Words, p. 50) thinks that the original Greek form of this surname (Mt τοῦ, Mk 318) was Kavvatos = 930, “a zealot” (cf. Lk 61). On the form see also Moulton Gr. ii. p. 109, Burkitt Syrzac Forms of NT Proper Names (Brit. Acad. 1912), p. 5.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

The Greek word Ἰούδας (transliterated as Ioudas) refers to several figures, primarily Judah, son of Jacob, and various individuals named Judas in the New Testament. It encompasses the tribe of Judah and includes notable figures like Judas Iscariot, the Lord's brother, and Judas the Apostle. The lexicons also mention Judas of Damascus and Judas the Galilean, indicating a broad historical and biblical significance.

Easton's Bible Dictionary

Judas

The Graecized form of Judah. (1.) The patriarch (Matt. 1:2, 3).

(2.) Son of Simon (John 6:71; 13:2, 26), surnamed Iscariot, i.e., a man of Kerioth (Josh. 15:25). His name is uniformly the last in the list of the apostles, as given in the synoptic (i.e., the first three) Gospels. The evil of his nature probably gradually unfolded itself till “Satan entered into him” (John 13:27), and he betrayed our Lord (18:3). Afterwards he owned his sin with “an exceeding bitter cry,” and cast the money he had received as the wages of his iniquity down on the floor of the sanctuary, and “departed and went and hanged himself” (Matt.…

surnamed Barsabas, a leading member of the apostolic church at Jerusalem, (Acts 15:22) endued with the gift of prophesy, ver. (Acts 15:32) chosen with Silas to accompany Paul and Barnabas as delegates to the church at Antioch. (A.D. 47.) Later, Judas went back to Jerusalem.

American Tract Society Bible Dictionary

1. ISCARIOT, that is, man of Carioth or Kerioth, a city of Judah, Jos 15:25. Being one of the twelve apostles of our Lord, Judas seems to have possessed the full confidence of his fellow apostles, and was entrusted by them with all the presents which were made them, and all their means of subsistence; and when the twelve were sent out to preach and to work miracles, Judas appears to have been among them, and to have received the same powers. He was accustomed, however, even at this time, to appropriate part of their common stock to his own use, Joh 12:6; and at length sealed his infamy by betraying his Lord to the Jews for money. For the paltry sum of about $15, he engaged with the Jewish Sanhedrin to guide them to a place where they could seize him by night without danger of a…

Counted over the 84 Old Testament verses where this Greek word stands: which Hebrew word keeps standing there too. A correspondence of verses rather than a word-by-word alignment, so read the percentage as strength of evidence, not as a claim about any single verse.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

THE, an adjective or definitive adjective.

1. This adjective is used as a definitive, that is, before nouns which are specific or understood; or it is used to limit their signification to a specific thing or things, or to describe them; as the laws of the twelve tables. the independent tribunals of justice in our country, are the security or private rights, and the best bulwark against arbitrary power. the sun is the source of light and heat.

This he calls the preaching of the cross.

2. the is also used rhetorically before a noun in the singular number, to denote a species by way of distinction; a single thing representing the whole. the fig tree putteth forth her green figs; the almond tree shall flourish; the grasshopper shall be a burden.

3. In poetry, the sometimes loses the final vowel before another vowel.

The word Ἰσκαριώθ refers to Judas Iscariot, identified as an inhabitant of Kerioth. It appears in several New Testament verses, including Mark 3:19 and 14:10, and is linked to Judas's father, Simon. The term is derived from Hebrew origins, likely referring to a geographical location.

The definite article — the commonest word in the Greek New Testament at 19,867 occurrences. Greek uses it more freely than English does and can drop it deliberately, so its presence and its absence both carry weight for a translator; but no single occurrence carries a message of its own. Here it simply gathers “the things” into one definite bundle.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

Mt 6:14 should therefore read, "Your heavenly Father will forgive you also"; Lu 6:13, "Whom also he named apostles"; Heb 8:6, "The mediator of a better covenant also"; and 1Th 4:14, `If we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also (we believe that) those who are fallen asleep in Jesus, God will bring with Him.'

παραδίδωμι is a verb meaning to give or hand over, often with implications of betrayal or transmission. It can refer to delivering someone to judgment or teaching traditions. The New Testament uses it in contexts like committing to prison (e.g., Matthew 4:12) and handing down teachings (e.g., Mark 7:13). The entries suggest a range of meanings from simple delivery to betrayal, but do not indicate significant disagreement among lexicons.

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

Thayer’s Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament (Harper, 1889 — Grimm’s Wilke’s Clavis Novi Testamenti, translated, revised and enlarged by Joseph Henry Thayer) is public domain and is set here from the Internet Archive page scan greekenglishlex00grim; it is uncorrected OCR, marked as such on the entry itself, and the Strong’s numbers — which Thayer’s own edition does not carry — were matched by lemma against the other modules on this page. Trench’s Synonyms of the New Testament (Macmillan, 1880) and Moulton and Milligan’s Vocabulary of the Greek Testament (Hodder & Stoughton, 1930, which entered the United States public domain on 1 January 2026) are set from Internet Archive page scans synonymsofnewtes00treniala and vocabularyofgree00mouluoft, and are likewise uncorrected OCR matched to Strong’s numbers by lemma. Trench treats a group of words at once, so the same essay stands on the page of each word it compares.
