3:19

Judas Iscariot: The name Judas was a common name, so the Judas who betrayed Jesus is referred to as Judas Iscariot. You should treat Iscariot (Some scholars understand the word Iscariot to mean “man from Kerioth.” However, most English versions treat Iscariot as simply a name. So here it is recommended that you follow the majority of versions.) as another name.

who betrayed Jesus: The Greek phrase that the Berean Standard Bible translates as betrayed Jesus means “delivered Jesus into the control of his enemies.” This refers to the time when Judas led Jesus’ enemies to him so that they could arrest him. This happened three years after the events here.

Here are some other ways to translate this:

who betrayed Jesus to his enemies
-or-
who later led Jesus’ enemies to him so they could arrest him
-or-
who later turned against Jesus (New Century Version)
