He is one of the lesser-known apostles, distinct from Judas Iscariot, the betrayer. His question reflects a genuine curiosity and concern for understanding Jesus' mission. The distinction highlights the importance of individual identity and roles within the group of disciples.“Lord, why are You going to reveal Yourself to us The use of "Lord" signifies respect and acknowledgment of Jesus' authority. The concept of revelation is central to the Gospel of John, where Jesus often speaks of revealing the Father to those who believe (<a href="/john/1-18.htm">John 1:18, 14</a>:9). This revelation is spiritual and personal, intended for those who have faith and are open to receiving it.and not to the world?” The "world" in John's Gospel often refers to the system of unbelief and opposition to God (<a href="/john/15-18.htm">John 15:18-19</a>). Jesus' selective revelation underscores the theme of divine election and the idea that spiritual truths are discerned by those who are spiritually receptive (<a href="/1_corinthians/2-14.htm">1 Corinthians 2:14</a>). This also foreshadows the Great Commission, where the disciples are tasked with spreading the Gospel to the world (<a href="/matthew/28-19.htm">Matthew 28:19-20</a>), indicating that the revelation to the disciples is a precursor to a broader mission.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/judas.htm">Judas (not Iscariot)</a> This Judas is also known as Thaddaeus or Lebbaeus, one of the twelve apostles.

But it was contrary to every thought of the Messiah that this manifestation should be to a few only. His reign was to be the judgment of the Gentiles, and the establishment of the Theocracy. . . . <div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/john/14.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verses 22-31. - (6) The question of Judas, and the conditions of our Lord's self-manifestation, followed by appeals, promises, and the gift of PEACE. Verse 22. - This reference to "manifestation" once more occasioned another anxious inquiry. Thomas bad not known whither the Lord was going, and was ignorant of the true meaning of that way of departure from them; and the Lord had told him that he was going to the Father, and that he himself was the Way for them to find their access to the Father's heart. Philip had longed for some vision of the Father which would suffice for the "whither" and "way," and was surprised to find that he had had already, in the Savior's own Person, a sufficient revelation of the Father; but that he and others had not known him nor his Father; and now Jesus promises a fuller manifestation of himself, and therefore of the Father. Here Judas, not Iscariot (the Lebbaeus, or Thaddaeus, of <a href="/mark/3-18.htm">Mark 3:18</a> and <a href="/matthew/10-3.htm">Matthew 10:3</a>; the Judas brother of James of <a href="/luke/6-16.htm">Luke 6:16</a> and <a href="/acts/1-13.htm">Acts 1:13</a> - all the several cognomina intended to keep this apostle's name entirely distinct from that of the traitor), saith to him, What has come to pass that thou art about to manifest thyself unto us, and not to manifest thyself to the world? Hast thou altered thy plan? Is the world to be left unvisited by thy glory? This question, in some form or other, is constantly pressed upon the Lord. This seeking for a sign, this eager desire for a great display of power, or judgment, or glory, this restoration of the kingdom to Israel, was the cry of the Jewish heart. Christ's sublime reply to it is given in the restatement of the spiritual law of the kingdom and glory of God. Once more he goes back to the law of love, issuing in obedience. <a href="/commentaries/john/14-22.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>Judas Ἰούδας (Ioudas) Noun - Nominative Masculine Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_2455.htm">Strong's 2455: </a> Of Hebrew origin; Judas, the name of ten Israelites; also of the posterity of one of them and its region.
