Judas and Last Supper

What we DO see in Scripture is that Jesus knew Judas would betray Him, & He made it known to Judas that He knew.

This begs the question: Why did Judas betray Him?

The answer is, Iscariot was a Zealot, same as the other Judas. He became deeply disappointed when he realized Jesus was not going to use His power to free the Jews from Roman rule & therefore had to be eliminated. Best way he saw was the one he used. This shows that Judas didn't know Scripture too well, or he woulda realized that fact much-earlier.

Matt. 26:23 He answered and said, “He who dipped his hand with Me in the dish will betray Me. 24 The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.”25 Then Judas, who was betraying Him, answered and said, “Rabbi, is it I?” He said to him, “You have said it.”

Mark 14:20 He answered and said to them, “It is one of the twelve, who dips with Me in the dish. 21 The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had never been born.”

John 13:26 Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it.” And having dipped the bread, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. 27 Now after the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.” 28 But no one at the table knew for what reason He said this to him.

So Jesus made it known to Judas that He knew of Judas' plan to betray Him. No, He didn't die for Judas' sins, but He gave Judas the opportunity to repent. But Judas didn't. While he lamented that he'd betrayed an innocent man, he didn't call on Jesus for forgiveness; he killed himself. so according to Jesus' words, he will be in the worst part of hell, with Satan himself, the beast & false prophet, the demons & evil spirits, & Hitler, Stalin, etc.

I am not arguing that Judas was not present. I believe that can be debated as to how long he was present, but he was at least present for part of the supper. What I am saying is that in verse 18 Jesus has already demonstrated that the promises he is giving in that room is not for everyone present, namely Judas. So you then bank your position on Jesus saying this is my blood given for you. But he has already made clear he is not making his promises to everyone in that room.

Judas was there for the foot washing too, but the spiritual application did not extend to him, Jesus made that clear.

The argument has been that Judas was present when Jesus said this is my body which is broken for you and that must mean he died for Judas as well. My point is that in John 13, which happened before that part of the supper, Jesus is on record as saying that he is not speaking to all of them even when he says "you".

Joh 13:2 And supper being ended, the devil having already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray Him,
Joh 13:18 "I do not speak concerning all of you. I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, 'HE WHO EATS BREAD WITH ME HAS LIFTED UP HIS HEEL AGAINST ME.'
Joh 13:21 When Jesus had said these things, He was troubled in spirit, and testified and said, "Most assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me."
Joh 13:26 Jesus answered, "It is he to whom I shall give a piece of bread when I have dipped it." And having dipped the bread, He gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.
Joh 13:27 Now after the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Then Jesus said to him, "What you do, do quickly."

Jesus is also on record as saying that the one He gave the piece of bread to was the one that would betray Him. Once He had done this He told Judas to do what he intended to do. So your argument really falls flat.

Actually it is not that Judas was or was not there that matters. Jesus died for sinners so if Judas was a sinner then Christ Jesus died for him.

Rom 3:9 ...For we have previously charged both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin.

Rom 3:22 ...For there is no difference;
Rom 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,

1Ti 2:5 For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus,
1Ti 2:6 who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time,

So did Christ Jesus die for Judas, YES. Was Judas saved, NO and why, because he did not trust in Christ Jesus.

Clearly you did not read my post. We are not talking about whether or not he was there.

Yep, all wrong. Just reading the passage demonstrates this, this is not complicated.

I read your PDF.
My comment is the original reading of Codex Sinaiticus for γενομενου was γεινομενου.
The first correction was to make it read as γενομενου. The second correction was to restore it's original reading. Image of page of Codex and and that word.

And my point, is the correct reading cannot be that supper was already over. That doesn't make sense culturally and it doesn't make sense textually. So if you read the commentaries you know that the correct understanding is either After supper was served or during supper etc.

I know you do not understand fully my view on this.

Here is a question I need to hear your answer on. Where in the chronology ot the evens of Matthew, Mark and Luke do you place Jesus doing that foot washing?

So then you agree he was not one of the sheep and Jesus did not say he laid his life down for everyone, he laid his life down for the sheep.
That's only true if you believe in the Reformed interpretation of the gospel. I do not and therefore I believe that Jesus died for everyone. Of course to be saved a person must accept Him as their Lord and Savior AND follow Him.

So you argue that everyone is part of the sheep fold?
