That was pretty good. He did tell Judas that.

I do not recall the precise apocryphal writing which aMPU was otherwise slyly referring to...but those sort of works were known to have provided some conceptual "leakage" into the wider commentaries, over the centuries. One version has Judas as some crucial figure who was cooperative -- like -- he was just "playing at" or acting as if he was betraying Christ with the story being presented as it all being part of a larger setting of "holy theatre".

Something along those lines was in some false Gospel or another...I forget which one.

Had Judas repented, I believe he would have had a very moving testimony of God’s love and mercy. His experience shows how satan can oppress someone (or even posses someone) to the point they will lose all hope and commit suicide.

Condemnation will kill you if you don’t repent and get cleansed by the Blood of Jesus.

Way off topic. Sorry for the digression.
