Judas Iscariot is not mentioned by name in the New Testament beyond Acts of the Apostles. Paul refers to him indirectly when he writes about the establishment of the Lord's Supper in 1 Corinthians 11:23: For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on thesame night in which He was betrayed took bread;[NKJV]
The idea that Jesus revealed "secrets" to Judas that He revealed to no one else is not biblical. In fact, Judas was dead when Jesus "opened the understanding" of the apostles (Luke 24:45), so the fullest truth was never known to Judas.
A:In Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians, written long before the first of the gospels, the risen Jesus appeared to the twelve (1 Cor 15:3-8) which can only mean that for Paul, Jesus was not betrayed by Judas Iscariot.The gospel story required a traitor, and that traitor was Judas Iscariot. In the gospels, when the risen Jesus appeared to the disciples, he appeared to the eleven. It would be inconceivable that the other disciples would have kept Judas in their midst to be seen by the risen Jesus. Now, Judas did not see Jesus.
Judas Iscariot was the disciple that betrayed Jesus. See these verses in the Bible: Luke 22:47-48 and John 18:1-5
* Jesus Christ, Judas Iscariot, and Paul.
PaulAnswer:Neither Paul nor Peter "betrayed" Jesus. Peter deniedknowing Him just prior to the crucifixion, and Paul (Saul) was violently opposed to the church before he learned the truth and was converted, but it was Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus.
After Jesus finished speaking to Paul on the road to Damascus, Paul was blinded and led into the city where he stayed with a man named Judas. Later, Paul regained his sight after Ananias laid his hands on him and he was baptized.
Some of the Apostles who were not part of the original twelve include Paul (formerly known as Saul), Matthias (who replaced Judas Iscariot), and Barnabas.
How long did paul stay at Judas house after becoming blind?
A:Perhaps not. New Testament scholars are aware that none of the gospels could have been written by an eyewitness to the events portrayed. The earliest written account of Jesus is in Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians, which says that the risen Jesus appeared to the twelve (1 Cor 15:3-8), which can only mean that for Paul the traitor did not come from the twelve disciples.John Shelby Spong (Jesus for the NonReligious) says that the name Judas is a variant of Judah, implying Jewish guilt, and that the name Iscariot seems to be based on 'sicarii', suggesting Judas was a traitor. In Spong's view, Judas Iscariot is probably a literary creation.
Acts 1: 26 says this: "And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell on Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles." Thus quite clearly Matthias was the replacement for Judas who was already dead before Jesus as he hanged himself in despair as recorded.
The 12 Apostles are: Bartholomew, Andrew, Peter, Philip, Thomas, Thaddeus, John, James, Judas, James, Simon, Matthew And then: Matthias was elected as a replacement for Judas. Paul was called directly by Jesus on the Damascus road.
No, Paul did not take the place of Judas as one of the original twelve apostles. Matthias was chosen by the other apostles to replace Judas, as described in Acts 1:15-26. Paul, originally known as Saul, became an apostle later through a direct encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus.
