Jesu tid

Mentioned as Judas's father

Simon Iscariot is mentioned in the Gospel of John as the father of Judas, in connection with Jesus knowing who would betray him.

71He was speaking of Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the Twelve, was going to betray him.
ἔλεγεν δὲ τὸν Ἰούδαν Σίμωνος ⸀Ἰσκαριώτου· οὗτος γὰρ ἔμελλεν ⸂παραδιδόναι αὐτόν⸃, ⸀εἷς ἐκ τῶν δώδεκα.

Referred to at the Last Supper

At the Last Supper, Judas is again referred to as 'the son of Simon Iscariot', since the devil had put it into his heart to betray Jesus.

2During supper, the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas, son of Simon Iscariot, to betray him.
καὶ δείπνου ⸀γινομένου, τοῦ διαβόλου ἤδη βεβληκότος εἰς τὴν καρδίαν ⸂ἵνα παραδοῖ αὐτὸν Ἰούδας Σίμωνος ⸀Ἰσκαριώτου⸃,
26Jesus answered, "It is the one to whom I give this piece of bread when I have dipped it." Then he dipped the bread and gave it to Judas, son of Simon Iscariot.
⸀ἀποκρίνεται ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Ἐκεῖνός ἐστιν ᾧ ἐγὼ ⸀βάψω τὸ ψωμίον ⸂καὶ δώσω αὐτῷ⸃· ⸂βάψας οὖν⸃ τὸ ⸀ψωμίον δίδωσιν Ἰούδᾳ Σίμωνος ⸀Ἰσκαριώτου.
