It was one of Jesus' twelve disciples, who had come to see the priests and rulers. His name? His name was Judas Iscariot. "What will you give me," Judas said, "if I turn Jesus over to you?" The priests and rulers could hardly believe their ears. "Thirty pieces of silver you shall have," they cried, "if you give us Jesus!"
And Judas Iscariot, which also betrayed Him: and they went into an house. Mark iii. 6-19. A common object of hatred cements antagonists into strange alliance. Hawks and kites join in assailing a dove.
Thus, when the devils begged permission to enter into the herd of swine, Jesus said, “Go”—Mat. 8: 31. And so we are to understand, John 13: 27, where Jesus says to Judas Iscariot, “What thou dost, do quickly.” No man is thoroughly posted as a Bible scholar who is honest in making the above charge. It is either ignorance or dishonesty that causes men to thus oppose the record.
So we said to lay the things aside for us, and we would draw some money at our banker's, and pay for them when we came to fetch them. Not for the world, declared this Judas Iscariot, this Benedict Arnold of an Italian Jew! We must take the things with us. Were we not Americans, and by Americans did he not live? Behold, he would take the articles with his own hands to our carriage.
"It's worth fifty." Something in the unshaven man's voice suggested that he had once been remotely connected with some sort of a business. The legless man shook his head. "Judas Iscariot," he said, "betrayed the Lord God for thirty. Fanny McIver's scalp isn't worth a cent over twenty-five. You're just a broken-down drunk. It takes a bigger bluffer than you to make me put an insult on Christendom.
12 And it came to pass in these days, that he went out into the mountain to pray; and he continued all night in prayer to God. 13 And when it was day, he called his disciples; and he chose from them twelve, whom also he named apostles: 14 Simon, whom he also named Peter, and Andrew his brother, and James and John, and Philip and Bartholomew, 15 and Matthew and Thomas, and James the son of Alphæus, and Simon who was called the Zealot, 16 and Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor; 17 and he came down with them, and stood on a level place, and a great multitude of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judæa and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases; 18 and they that were troubled with unclean spirits were healed. 19 And all the multitude sought to touch him; for power came forth from him, and healed them all.
The Master paused, and took off his great round spectacles. I could not help thinking that he looked benevolent enough to pardon Judas Iscariot just at that moment, though his features can knot themselves up pretty, formidably on occasion. You are somewhat of a phrenologist, I judge, by the way you talk of instinctive and inherited tendencies I said.
His name seemed to be a respectable cognomen of Scriptural extraction, but it was really a contraction of a name which, while equally Scriptural and far more famous, was decidedly unpopular the name of Judas Iscariot.
The sky was suddenly overcast, there was thunder and lightning, a laurel was split in two from head to foot, and the Carob-tree under which Gan was sitting, which is said to be the species of tree on which Judas Iscariot hung himself, dropped one of its pods on his head.
He's the Law and the Prophets in all his Old Testament pictures, and he's Joseph, Peter, Judas Iscariot, and the Scribes and Pharisees in the New."
