5. In John 14:22, he is designated as "Judas -- not Iscariot" to distinguish him from the notorious Judas Iscariot who betrayed the Lord.

7. There is in the Bible a man named Judas who was the brother of James who is also the writer of the book of Jude.

II. THE COMMENTS OF JUDAS
A. The Place of the Comment
1. Of the three most obscure disciples (James of Alphaeus, Simon Zelotes, and Judas of James), only Judas has any of his personal comments recorded.
2. This comment was made in the upper room the night before the crucifixion of our Lord.
3. It expressed his thought process about some of Christ's most important teachings.
4. The comment is a credit to Judas in that it showed that he was listening carefully to what Jesus was teaching.
