JUDAS was the disciple who betrayed Jesus to the Pharisees (Mark 14:10; Luke 12:3-4). His name, like Ganelon's and Synon's, became synonymous with treachery.

Judas is a thief, FrT 1351, a traitor, CYT 1003-1007; he is envious, ParsT 500-505, a flatterer, ParsT 615-618, and commits the sin of despair, ParsT 695-698, 1015-1018. [Genelloun: Scariot: Synon]
