Three of the gospels say that Judas went of his own accord to the authorities and asked them to pay him for betraying Jesus:. Then one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said, 'What will you give me if I betray him to you? And from that moment he began to look for an opportunity to betray him.
The Death Of Judas | Steven Elliott's Website
Then Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went to the chief priests in order to betray him to them. When they heard it, they were greatly pleased, and promised to give him money. So he began to look for an opportunity to betray him. Then Satan entered into Judas called Iscariot, who was one of the twelve; he went away and conferred with the chief priests and officers of the temple police about how he might betray him to them.
They were greatly pleased and agreed to give him money. So he consented and began to look for an opportunity to betray him to them when no crowd was present. But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples the one who was about to betray him , said, 'Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?
Silver Prophesied
The Victorian art critic John Ruskin argues that Judas was not only greedy and dishonest, but stupid as well, and that is why he acted as he did:. We do great injustice to Iscariot, in thinking him wicked above all common wickedness. He was only a common money-lover, and, like all money-lovers, did not understand Christ;-could not make out the worth of Him, or meaning of Him. He never thought He would be killed.
He was horror-struck when he found that Christ would be killed; threw his money away instantly, and hanged himself. Judas was a common, selfish, muddle-headed, pilfering fellow; his hand always in the bag of the poor, not caring for them. Helpless to understand Christ, he yet believed in Him, much more than most of us do; had seen Him do miracles, thought He was quite strong enough to shift for Himself, and he, Judas, might as well make his own little bye-perquisites out of the affair.
Christ would come out of it well enough, and he have his thirty pieces. Both Luke and John say that Judas was possessed by the Devil and imply that this was a reason for his behaviour. Luke seems to suggest that Judas' actions may have been entirely the result of this possession; that he was, in effect, carrying out Satan's wishes:. John, on the other hand, suggests that Judas was a bad man before Satan entered him to inspire the final betrayal:.
For Jesus knew from the first who were the ones that did not believe, and who was the one that would betray him. Yet one of you is a devil.
Was Judas Iscariot A Helpless Victim Of Prophecy?
Now before the festival of the Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. The devil had already put it into the heart of Judas son of Simon Iscariot to betray him. After saying this Jesus was troubled in spirit, and declared, 'Very truly, I tell you, one of you will betray me.

One of his disciples-the one whom Jesus loved-was reclining next to him; Simon Peter therefore motioned to him to ask Jesus of whom he was speaking. So while reclining next to Jesus, he asked him, 'Lord, who is it? Jesus answered, 'It is the one to whom I give this piece of bread when I have dipped it in the dish. After he received the piece of bread, Satan entered into him. You might think that if Satan had taken over Judas, then he is not to blame for his actions; Jesus did not think that way:. The Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that one by whom the Son of Man is betrayed!
It would have been better for that one not to have been born. I am not speaking of all of you; I know whom I have chosen.

But it is to fulfil the scripture, 'The one who ate my bread has lifted his heel against me. While I was with them, I protected them in your name that you have given me. I guarded them, and not one of them was lost except the one destined to be lost, so that the scripture might be fulfilled. This doesn't provide a motive for Judas' action, and although some say that it explains why Judas had to do what he did, others argue that Judas, like all human beings, had free will, and could have chosen not to do it. Another theory says that if Judas had not betrayed Jesus the Crucifixion would not have taken place, there would have been no Resurrection and the founding events of Christianity would not have occurred.
This isn't necessarily true: all Judas does is enable the authorities to find Jesus at a particular time and place - and given Jesus' very public actions during the preceding days the authorities should have had little difficulty in apprehending him without the help of Judas.
Nor does it serve as a motive for Judas unless he was aware of what needed to happen to Jesus for the plan of salvation to be fulfilled, and there is no clear statement of this in the gospels. Some writers argue that Judas had a strong political motive, and had seen Jesus as the Messiah who would liberate the Jews from being ruled by the Romans. But although Jesus had had several opportunities to lead a populist direct action movement, he had not taken them up. It's possible that Judas intended to force Jesus' hand by revealing him to the authorities so that Jesus would have to declare himself to be the political leader of the Jews and use the popular support demonstrated during his triumphal entry into Jerusalem as the basis of an earthly liberation movement.
An alternative view is that Judas was so disappointed that Jesus had not declared himself the Messiah and taken action to lead the Jews, that he decided to betray him as an act of revenge for what he saw as Jesus' political betrayal of his more Nationalist followers. This theory is not directly supported in the gospels. I think we must ask another question: 'Did Judas feel betrayed by Jesus?
Remember that Jesus' incarnation, as the long awaited Messiah, was very different from what the Jews expected and felt was promised in their scriptures. When you think of the crowds shouting, 'Crucify him,' you realize that they felt betrayed by Jesus as well.
Remember St. Paul himself said that 'we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews Jesus had become a stumbling block for Judas. Judas felt betrayed by Jesus, before he betrayed Jesus in turn.
One scholar has argued that Judas never intended to betray Jesus. Professor William Klassen says that the idea of betrayal is based on a mistranslation and that Judas intended not to 'betray' Jesus, but to 'hand over' Jesus to the authorities. And this can be developed to suggest that Judas intended to bring Jesus and the authorities together in order to resolve their differences. If Judas didn't intend a betrayal then that would explain his suicide when he became aware of the catastrophic consequence of his action.
A manuscript called the Gospel of Judas, written in the 2nd century was translated from a 5th century copy in the first decade of the 21st century, although its existence had long been rumoured. Early comments on the manuscript suggested that it portrayed Judas in largely positive, even heroic, terms. The manuscript was said to show that Jesus asked Judas to betray him, so that Jesus could be freed from his physical body and the plan of salvation could be fulfilled.
Judas was instructed to sacrifice Jesus the man - "you will sacrifice the man that clothes me" - and was warned by Jesus that he, Judas, would be hated by future generations as a result.

More recently, other translators have come up with a different take which portrays Judas as a demon who betrays Jesus, possibly in order to further the interests of a different, and evil God, and who is doomed never to reach heaven.

But there does not seem to be such a verse anywhere in Jeremiah. By far the closet verses are in Zechariah:. RSV Zec Note that the above combines several relevant elements. Someone is payed thirty shekels which he then casts into the treasury in the house of the LORD.
Also, the Septuagint the questionable Greek translation of the Old Testament that the New Testament authors quoted has a " potter " in the house of the LORD receiving the thirty shekels. So, it seems likely that Matthew quoted the wrong book. But the larger problem is that Matthew had a tendency to find prophecy fulfillment in Old Testament verses, such as Matt , in spite of there being no indication that the original author intended it as a prophecy of something in the distant future.
For more on this see "Prophecies: Imaginary and Unfulfilled" The prophecies mentioned in Acts are also questionable. As far as biblical problems go the ones presented in this article are not the most insurmountable. What is difficult to explain is the number of problems in relatively few verses.
In other words, even if it is determined that the problems presented in this article are only apparent problems, as opposed to actual problems, there is still the issue as to why there are so many apparent problems in so few verses. I've moved it here since it refers to to the essay above. The essay above was original on a different website and was linked to by Infidels.
I found your post on Judas very rigorous and intellectually honest. I like to think of myself as intellectually honest Professor at UT and a Christian became a follower later in life and previously thought Christianity had little intellectualism. Your closing point is that the stories with Judas seems to contradict themselves and given other contradictions it makes the case greater.
