Quick answer
The list ends with Judas Iscariot, noted as the betrayer, and Jesus enters a house. It matters because even the inner circle included one who would betray him, fulfilling Scripture.
Overview
Mark's blunt note about Judas reminds readers that nearness to Jesus is not the same as saving faith. The betrayal was no accident but part of God's redemptive plan foretold in Scripture. The transition into a house sets the stage for the rising conflict with both family and religious authorities that follows.
