To believe that Judas volunteered is to acknowledge that the evangelists who wrote the Gospels changed the actual story substantively, and we cannot gloss over these changes. But if you think about it, it must have been done. It is the Jews’ fault that our Lord got crucified by the Romans? They cry, “his blood be on us and our children”? Really? We know that the Barabbas story is most probably untrue, no one was ever set free because the Jews wanted it on their holy day. The gospels don’t agree how certain things happened, or in what order, so in reconciling them we then create a new gospel, which almost definitely didn’t happen in any way. The information about Judas seemed to come from angels. I’m still waiting for a revision of it; hasn’t happened yet. I only seem to get further confirmation. How does it resolve?
