I think that this is a parable - Judas is someone (or business) that destroys the earth (nature) for profit. By destroying our earth, they are creating their own hell. And destroying themselves. Judas is like a capitalist and nature is God. In the name of Judas Iscariot, the apostle who betrayed Jesus, the epithet "Iscariot" is read by the majority of scholars as a Hellenized transformation of sicarius. The suffix "-ote" denotes membership or belonging to - in this case to the sicarii. Sicarii (Latin plural of Sicarius 'dagger-' or later contract- killer) is a term applied, in the decades immediately preceding the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 CE, (probably) to an extremist splinter group[1] to the Jewish Zealots, (or insurgents) who attempted to expel the Romans and their partisans from Judea: "When Albinus reached the city of Jerusalem, he bent every effort and made every provision to ensure peace in the land by exterminating most of the Sicarii." �Josephus, Jewish Antiquities (xx.208) The sicarii even resorted to murder to obtain their objective. Under their cloaks they concealed sicae, or small daggers, from which they received their name. At popular assemblies, particularly during the pilgrimage to the Temple Mount, they stabbed their enemies (Romans or Roman sympathizers, Herodians, and wealthy Jews comfortable with Roman rule), lamenting ostentatiously after the deed to blend into the crowd to escape detection. Literally, Sicarii meant "dagger-men". Maybe he felt betrayed that Jesus was not the promised Messiah who will free the Jews from their Occupier (the Romans)
There had to be one of the twelve who was to betray Christ. Christ new the hearts of all of his apostles especially the heart of Judas. He was a greedy conspiring man who was in charge of the finances of the twelve. Remember his complaining about having expensive ointment used to wash and anoint Christ's feet. It could have been sold and the money used to fill the coffers of the twelve. Being an evil man he conspired with the evil priest to betray Christ for thirty pieces of silver. In doing so he unknowingly played his part in the salvation of men through the death of Christ.
Judas Iscariot. Jesus knew that Judas would betray him and he still accepted him! i think that if we all had that kind of acceptance as Christians we would really make a difference.
do you mean OTHER than Judas ?Judas wasn't the only one who betrayed Jesus.. If you think about it, all his apostles did too.. Where were they when he was crucified? hiding? Judas was the one who didn't know how to handle it. -p.rabJudas one of His disciples.Judas.
Judas Iscariot was one of the 12 disciples, not an angel. He was the one who took 20 pieces of silver to betray Jesus Christ. Afterward, he was so distraught and ashamed about what he did that he hung himself. Christians try to use Judas' suicide as proper evidence for Hell. But it is just as possible, and I would think spiritually logical, that Jesus would have forgiven Judas and that the whole concept of hell is misconstrued.
Jesus was at the last supper, I think Judas sat next to him, as Jesus said the betrayer is dipping in the same bowl.
i think it was Judas. i go to a catholic school, so if I'm wrong, im sorry. :( :)

Jesus must have been sad that one of the 12 whom he knew for three years would betray him.
I think he was a little sad about being betrayed, but he was calm and accepting about being arrested.
I don't think he will ever betray the village
I think the answer is no.It was only possible to be a Christian afterthe death of Christ. Because a Christian is a person who believes Jesus died as a sacrifice for sin and "whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life". - John 3:16
Spy Wednesday: the word means exactly what we think it means. It's a reference to Judas's action in Matthew 26: 14-16:Then went one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, to the chief priests, and said to them: What will you give me, and I will deliver him unto you? But they appointed him thirty pieces of silver. And from thenceforth he sought opportunity to betray him.The beginning of Matthew 26 seems to place that event two days beforeGood Friday. Thus, a spy entered the midst of the disciples on Wednesday ofHoly Week, when Judas resolved to betray our Lord for 30 pieces of silver.
We co nsider Judas as a evil, man mainly for betraying Christ , and we would still have salvation as the Jews and the Romans would have found a way to crucify Jesus. Judas was the treasurer and also used to steal money.
