Uncovering the Mystery of Judas Iscariot

The term 'Iscariot' in Judas Iscariot's name has been debated by scholars, with various interpretations ranging from him being a redhead to being an assassin or coming from a town named Carriath. The more common explanation is that 'Iscariot' stands for 'ish kariot,' meaning 'man from Carriath,' possibly linking him to the Sicarii, a group of Jewish rebels known for assassinations during that time.
