Luke6:16

16 And Judas the brother of James, and Judas Iscariot, which also was the traytor.

We have twice already met with these Names of the twelve Disciples, whom our Saviour called Apostles, intending them not only to be with him and to have a more special Communion with him, but also to be sent out with Power to Preach, Baptize, and to Work Miracles, see the Notes on Matth. 10.2, 3. and Mar. 3.14. There were amongst them, two, whose Names were Simon. The one Christ named Peter, the other is called Simon Zelotes here. Simon the Canaanite by Matthew and Mark. Two whose Names were Iames. The one was the Son of Zebedee, the other was the Son of Alpheus. Two whose Names was Iudas. The one is called Thaddeus by Mark. Lebbeus and Thaddeus by Matthew. Iudas the Brother of Iames by Luke (this was the Penman of the Epistle of Iude, and Iudas Iscariot the Traytor, the other six were all of differing Names. What occurs of difficulty as to their Names, see opened in our Notes on Matth. 10.2, 3. and Mar. 3.14.
