According to another canonical source in the Bible, the Book of Acts (written by the same author as the Gospel of Luke), Judas didn’t kill himself after betraying Jesus. Instead, he went into a field, where “falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out” (Acts 1:18). This spontaneous-combustion-like process was a common form of death in the Bible when God himself caused people’s deaths. Adams, Byron, ed.

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.No more so than ole Ethel....jeez she had me in stitches......scratching her fanny....the theiving ole cow...her mouth like a sewer....she was bloody hilarious.

The story within a story appears as a counter-revolutionary novel in the context of Moscow in the 1920s–1930s. [ citation needed] " Tres versiones de Judas" (English title: "Three Versions of Judas") is a short story by Argentine writer and poet Jorge Luis Borges; it was included in Borges's anthology Ficciones, published in 1944, and revolves around the main character's doubts about the canonical story of Judas who instead creates three alternative versions. [141] Judas's epithet "Iscariot" ( Ὶσκάριωθ or Ὶσκαριώτης), which distinguishes him from the other people named "Judas" in the gospels, is usually thought to be a Greek rendering of the Hebrew phrase איש־קריות, ( Κ-Qrîyôt), meaning "the man from Kerioth". [17] [9] [18] This interpretation is supported by the statement in the Gospel of John 6:71 that Judas was "the son of Simon Iscariot". [9] Nonetheless, this interpretation of the name is not fully accepted by all scholars. [17] [9] One of the most popular alternative explanations holds that "Iscariot" ( ܣܟܪܝܘܛܐ, 'Skaryota' in Syriac Aramaic, per the Peshitta text) may be a corruption of the Latin word sicarius, meaning "dagger man", [17] [9] [19] [20] which referred to a member of the Sicarii ( סיקריים in Aramaic), a group of Jewish rebels who were known for committing acts of terrorism in the 40s and 50s AD by assassinating people in crowds using long knives hidden under their cloaks. [17] [9] This interpretation is problematic, however, because there is nothing in the gospels to associate Judas with the Sicarii, [9] and there is no evidence that the cadre existed during the 30s AD when Judas was alive. [21] [9] In March 2018, BBC Radio 4's 15 Minute Drama broadcast Judas, written by Lucy Gannon, in 5 episodes with Damien Molony in the title role. [147]a b Gagné, André (June 2007).

Alternatively, others have suggested that the name Iscariot identified Judas with the Sicarii, or “dagger-men,” a group of Jewish rebels who opposed the Roman occupation and committed acts of terrorism circa A.D. 40-50 on behalf of their nationalist cause. But there’s nothing in the Bible to link Judas to the Sicarii, and they were known to be active only after his death.

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] Smith, Barry D. (2010).
