Judas Iscariot

Judas Iscariot John 17:12 Excerpt It is clear that John regarded Judas as thoroughly villainous, and as an evangelist John took pains to point out his wicked character. Even though Judas’s name is not always used, his evil nature lurks in the background of the Gospel . So as early as  6:70 John already called him a devil; then at  12:6  Judas is regarded as a thief; at  13:27  he is an instrument of Satan, and here John sees Jesus dismissing him as the perishing one, the bad egg, or the weak link in the chain of the disciples. Not only was Judas the weak link, but he was an evil instrument in his fulfillment of Scripture. Although at this point it would be difficult to tell which Scripture was in the evangelist’s mind, other New Testament texts related to Judas’s actions seem to suggest more specific references such as  Matt 27:3–10 , which probably refers to  Zech 11:12–13  and  Acts 1:16–20 , which contains a free rendering of...

Judas Iscariot

Judas Iscariot John 17:12 This God of the name protected Israel in the wilderness and guarded the disciples in and by the presence of Jesus while he was on earth. Indeed, none of the disciples was lost/perished except Judas Iscariot. In this verse he is called the son of perdition, the one doomed to destruction, the one destined for perishing or lostness. There is at this point an important Greek wordplay in apōleto (the verb for “perish”) and apōleias (the noun for destruction/perdition). In other words, the perishing one perished. It is clear that John regarded Judas as thoroughly villainous, and as an evangelist John took pains to point out his wicked character. Even though Judas’s name is not always used, his evil nature lurks in the background of the Gospel. So as early as John 6:70 John already called him a devil; then at John 12:6 Judas is regarded as a thief; at John 13:27 he is an instrument of Satan, and here John sees Jesus dismissing him as the perishing one, the bad...
