Judas Iscariot

One of the Twelve, identified in the Gospels as the betrayer. The accounts invite a sober reading of betrayal and its consequences.

Begin with Mark 14; Matthew 27. Notice what the passage tells you, what it leaves unsaid, and what you may have brought to it from other retellings.

Make room for an encounter.
