The Gospels suggest that Jesus foresaw ( John 6:64, Matthew 26:25) and allowed Judas's betrayal ( John 13:27–28). [73] One explanation is that Jesus allowed the betrayal because it would allow God's plan to be fulfilled. Another is that regardless of the betrayal, Jesus was ultimately destined for crucifixion. [74] In April 2006, a Coptic papyrus manuscript titled the Gospel of Judas from 200 AD was translated, suggesting that Jesus told Judas to betray him, [75] although some scholars question the translation. [76] [77] Nevertheless, the Gospel of Judas is an apocryphal Gnostic Gospel composed in the 2nd century and some scholars agree that it contains no real historical information. [78] Most, Glenn W.

They decided not to do so during the feast [of the Passover], since they were afraid that people would riot; [30] instead, they chose the night before the feast to arrest him. According to Luke's account, Satan entered Judas at this time. [31]

Given how little we actually know about him from the Bible, Judas Iscariot remains one of the most enigmatic—and important—figures in Jesus’s story. In recent years, the discovery of the long-lost Gospel of Judas, a Gnostic text originally dating to the second century, has led some scholars to reconsider his role, and even to ask whether he might have been unfairly blamed for betraying Jesus.

ISBN 9781851099801. Judas is also referenced in the song Cry For Judas on the 2012 album Transcendental Youth by The Mountain Goats. An ancient Coptic manuscript dating from the third or fourth century, containing the only known surviving copy of the Gospel of Judas. Although Judas Iscariot's historical existence is generally widely accepted among secular historians, [4] [5] [6] [7] this relative consensus has not gone entirely unchallenged. [5] The earliest possible allusion to Judas comes from the First Epistle to the Corinthians 11:23–24, in which Paul the Apostle does not mention Judas by name, [8] [9] but uses the passive voice of the Greek word paradídōmi (παραδίδωμι), which most Bible translations render as "was betrayed": [8] [9] "...the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took a loaf of bread..." [8] Nonetheless, some biblical scholars argue that the word paradídōmi should be translated as "was handed over". [8] [9] This translation could still refer to Judas, [8] [9] but it could also instead refer to God metaphorically "handing Jesus over" to the Romans. [8]

The Gospel of Mark gives no motive for Judas's betrayal but does present Jesus predicting it at the Last Supper, an event also described in all the other gospels. The Gospel of Matthew 26:15 states that Judas committed the betrayal in exchange for thirty pieces of silver. The Gospel of Luke 22:3 and the Gospel of John 13:27 suggest that he was possessed by Satan. According to Matthew 27:1–10, after learning that Jesus was to be crucified, Judas attempted to return the money he had been paid for his betrayal to the chief priests and hanged himself. [2] The priests used the money to buy a field to bury strangers in, which was called the " Field of Blood" because it had been bought with blood money. The Book of Acts 1:18 quotes Peter as saying that Judas used the money to buy the field himself and, he "[fell] headlong... burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out." His place among the Twelve Apostles was later filled by Matthias. Rather than denounce Judas as Jesus’s betrayer, the author of the Gospel of Judas glorified him as Jesus’s most favored disciple. In this version of events, Jesus asked Judas to betray him to the authorities, so that he could be freed from his physical body and fulfill his destiny of saving humanity.
