And as for Judas' supposed betrayal?
Craig Hill, professor of New Testament at Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, D.C., would let the villain off history's hook, papyrus or not.
"What Jesus did — raising crowds and civic unrest — would have gotten him killed anywhere in the Roman Empire," Hill said.
Who cares what Craig Hill says.
Zealots sought the complete destruction of the Romans, which was an action Jesus did not come here to do.
When Judas realized that Jesus came to offer peace and salvation to all people, he believed that Jesus was not the Christ and thus betrayed Him for 30 pieces of silver.
If Judas was carrying out the will of God as this so-called "Gospel" says, then why did he commit suicide shortly thereafter?
This "Gospel" is in complete contradiction with Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. John's Gospel indicates that Judas was overcome by Satan at the Last Supper. So who are you going to believe? The Beloved Apostle, or Judas?
But actually it was the jews that brought him not the Romans.
They had many gods so what was one more to them?
The killed Jesus to quiet the jews and keep the peace.
