A Gospel of Judas Iscariot appears to have been in use among the Cainites, an early Gnostic sect. The Gospel was also mentioned by Irenaeus. However, it should be remembered that all the gospels, even those now in The Bible, were not really written by the disciples to whom they were attributed - so Judas Iscariot did not really write anything.

One branch of Christianity came to dominate and was the branch that selected the gospels that it would include in its Bible. With the possible exception of John's Gospel, it did not include any Gnostic gospels.

Does Judes Iscara have a Bible book?

No! There is a false gnostic "gospel of Judas" written by a bunch of heretics in the 2nd century but it is not considered "theopneustos-Graphae" the God breathed or insprired writings of God and so is not included in the Bible. There is some confusion, however, about a letter entitled 'jude' in the New Testament. The recipient of this letter, however, is not Judas Iscariot, but almost certainly Judas, son of Alpheus, the other disciple called 'Judas' and not to be confused with Judas iscariot.

Where was Judas Iscariot born?

There is little information about Judas Iscariot in the Bible, but he was the son of Simon Iscariot. (John 6:71) The name 'Iscariot' is believed by many to suggest that they were from the town of Kerioth-hezron . If this is true, Judas was the only one of the 12 apostles from Judea. The rest were from Galilee.
