Dr Hassold:

Thanks... I was attempting to ask this as a form/function question. 
TOU has the form of a definite article. But sometimes it functions as a
pronoun and I was wondering how it might impact the translation if TOU were
functioning as a pronoun rather than as a definite article here.

I believe this can best be translated as Concerning Judas, the one who 
became guide for those who arrested Jesus.  TOU is the article and GENOMENOU

is a participle functioning adjectivally.     Will Hassold, Th.D.
