    Although scripture does not explicity state, I believe the father of Judas Iscariot was named Simon BUT NOT Simon Peter.

    Iscariot is actually an epithet given to Judas to distinguish him from others named Judas. Scholars have debated exactly how Iscariot was meant - ranging from 'a man from kerioth' to 'liar' to 'dagger man' to 'assassin'.
