Hmmmm...if true, why did he hang himself?
A couple of thoughts. He may have thought Jesus would still rise off the cross and smite the Romans. There has been a lot of speculation he was a memeber of the Zealots, who believed the Messiah would establish his Kingdom here by crushing the enemies of Israel. When He didn't, Judas felt the full enormity of what he had done.
Or, Judas saw the carnage of the cross, and felt the accompanying despair. I am hopeful for this account, because it humanizes one of the greatest villains of history.
Interesting question: Does Jesus include Judas when He said, "Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing." I have always hoped He did. I don't know if it's Biblical or not, I've just always thought Judas really did not fully understand what he was doing, and thus was one of the points of that statement.
he sold-out his master and the committed suicide. not a very impressive resume for a disciple if you ask me!
Another interesting perspective..
