SEV Biblia, Chapter 6:16
Judas, hermano de Jacobo, y Judas Iscariote, que tambin fue el traidor.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 16. And Judas the brother of James , etc.] Of that James, that was the son of Alphaeus; though the Syriac and Arabic versions call him the son of James, very wrongly: this Judas was also called Thaddaeus and Lebbaeus, and is the writer of the epistle that bears his name: and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor ; both his surname and his character are mentioned, to distinguish him from the other Judas: it is easy to observe, that these twelve are mentioned by pairs, or couples, and so they were sent out, two by two; (see Mark 6:7) as were also the seventy disciples afterwards; (see Luke 10:1) There seems to be an allusion to the pairs and couples of the Jewish fathers and doctors, who in their succession are thus paired: Jose ben Joezer, and Joseph ben Jochauan; Joshua ben Perachia, and Nathan the Arbelite; Simeon ben Shetach, and Judah ben Tabai; Shemain and Abtalion; the two sons of Bethira, whose names were Judah and Joshua; Hillell and Shammai f258 : all before Christ's time.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 12-19 - We often think one half hour a great deal to spend in meditation an secret prayer, but Christ was whole nights engaged in these duties. I serving God, our great care should be not to lose time, but to make the end of one good duty the beginning of another. The twelve apostles ar here named; never were men so privileged, yet one of them had a devil and proved a traitor. Those who have not faithful preaching near them had better travel far than be without it. It is indeed worth while to go a great way to hear the word of Christ, and to go out of the way of other business for it. They came to be cured by him, and he heale them. There is a fulness of grace in Christ, and healing virtue in him ready to go out from him, that is enough for all, enough for each. Me regard the diseases of the body as greater evils than those of their souls; but the Scripture teaches us differently.
