It became known to everyone who lived in Jerusalem that in their language that field was called ‘Akeldama,’ that is, ‘The field of blood.’ For it is written in the book of Psalms, ‘Let his habitation be made desolate.

And he came down with them,.... With the twelve apostles, from the top of the mountain, where he had been praying all night, and where he had been that morning, ordaining, and giving instructions to the twelve he had chosen:
and stood in the plain; in a lower part of the mountain, in a plain place on it; which was large, and capable of holding a great number of people; for it was still upon the mount, that Christ taught his disciples, and said many of the things hereafter mentioned in this chapter; see Mat 5:1.

And the company of his disciples: not only the twelve, but the large number out of which he had chosen twelve;
and a great multitude of people; who were hearers of him, and attendants on him, and who had a great esteem for him, though they were not as yet of the number of his disciples; who came
out of all Judea, and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon: drawn from these several parts by the fame of him, some for one thing, and some another; some of
which came to hear him: to hear him preach, and that they might know what manner of doctrine he taught: and others of them,
to be healed of their diseases; their bodily diseases, and some came perhaps for both.

8. which also was the traitor] Rather, who also became a traitor. “Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?” Joh_6:70; 1Jn_2:17; typified by Ahithophel, Ps. 12:9. If it be asked why our Lord chose him, the answer is nowhere given to us, but we may reverently conjecture that Judas Iscariot, like all human beings, had in him germs of good which might have ripened into holiness, if he had resisted his besetting sin, and not flung away the battle of his life. It is clear that John (at least) among the Apostles had early found him out (Joh_12:5, and that he had received from our Lord more than one solemn warning (Luk_12:15, Luk_18:25, &c.).

The Pulpit Commentary 1880 · Public Domain Judas the brother of James; more accurately, Judas, or…
Judas the brother of James; more accurately, Judas, or Jude, son of James, or simply Jamess Jude. So this disciple is termed in both the writings ascribed to St. Luke (the Gospel and Acts). In St. Matthew"s list we find a "Lebbaeus," and in St. Mark"s a "Thaddaeus" occupying a position in the third division which in St. Luke"s list is filled by "James"s Jude." There is no doubt that Lebbaeus and Thaddaeus were surnames by which James"s Jude, or Judas, was known generally in the Church. The necessity of some surname to distinguish this apostle was obvious. Already in the company of apostles there was a Judas, or Jude, who was afterwards known as "the betrayer." One, too, of the Lord"s so-called brothers, a figure well known in the society of the Church of the first days, was also named Jude. The meaning of the two epithets is somewhat similar; they both were probably derived from the apostle"s character Lebbaeus from the Hebrew bl (lev), the heart. Jude was probably so styled on account of his loving earnestness. Thaddaeus, from thad, a word which in later Hebrew meant the female breast, was suggested possibly by his even feminine devotedness and tenderness of disposition. The addition in St. Matthew"s catalogue to "Lebbaeus, whose surname was Thad-daeus," which we read in our Authorized Version, does not occur in any of the older authorities, "Thaddaeus" being only found in St. Mark"s list. And Judas Iscariot, which also was the traitor. Some scholars have derived "Iscariot" from as-cara, strangulation; or from sheker, a lie, ish sheker, the man of a lie; these derivations are, however, most improbable. The surname is evidently derived from the place whence this Judas came. Kerioth, possibly the modern town or village of Kuryetein, not far from Hebron in Judah. Kerioth is mentioned in Jos_15:25, ish-Kerioth, a man of Kerioth.
