What Does Mark 3:19 Mean in the King James?
And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed him: and they went into an house.
The analysis reads the King James wording.
King James Version The King James Version, first published in 1611. Selah Verse shows the standard text.
THE KEY
The verse places betrayal inside the circle of chosen companionship: Judas belongs among them and is named by the act of handing Jesus over.
THE MEANING
Belonging to a trusted circle and handing someone over can occupy the same life. The movement into a house keeps that fracture within the scene of ordinary closeness.
WHAT THIS UNDOES
Being counted among trusted companions guarantees loyalty.
THE ROOT
παρέδωκεν
paredōken
GROWS FROM
δίδωμι
didōmi
to give
“betrayed” in this verse is paredōken. The Greek verb παραδίδωμι (paradidōmi) means “hand over” or “deliver”; its form here, παρέδωκεν (paredōken), names Judas by the transfer he makes. The same compound appears in Romans 8:32 for God giving the Son up, so the word holds giving-over and betrayal together while the surrounding words distinguish them.
ALSO GROWS
didōmi: to give
δίδωμι
This is the verb at the word’s core: betrayal takes the shape of giving someone over.
paradosis: tradition, something handed down
παράδοσις
The same giving root can describe what is passed along, revealing the wider sense of transfer carried within “hand over.”
THE PATTERN
The one who shares trusted proximity can also become the one who turns another over.
Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them.I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.THE THREAD
He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?Mark’s παρέδωκεν and Romans’ “delivered him up” are the same Greek verb form. The shared word links Judas’s handing Jesus over with God’s giving the Son up, while their agents and purposes differ.
