In case you are a lazy idiot like me, Here is th gist:
Judas was one of the 12 apostles of Jesus Christ. He is famously known for his betrayal of Jesus into the hands of Roman authorities.
Gospel of Mark says that the authorities were looking for a sly way to capture Jesus.And Judas agreed to help them for 30 pieces of silver( A man of small pleasures, i must say!). He identified Jesus in the prescence of the roman soldiers by kissing him on the neck. And "The kiss of Judas" became an idiom in english which symbolizes betrayal.
But a recently found gospel, called as gospel of Judas has something different to say. It claims that whatever happened on that fateful night is a planned arrangement between Jesus and Judas. It says that Jesus decided that it was time for him to go, and asked Judas for help. And Judas agreed to it unwillingly.
According to gospel of Mark, Jesus on seeing Judas approaching with roman soldiers, responded by saying, "Friend, Do what you have to do..."
In case, you are feeling vaguely familiar with above scene and wondering why, Don't worry. I will say one word and see if you can put the pieces together : "SEVERUS SNAPE"
All the Harry Potter Fans, Doesn't the character of Severus Snape seem to be modelled after Judas?? Just look at the similarities. Put Dumbledore in the place of Jesus, and snape in the place of Judas, and you have the climax of half blood prince! And compare the lines Jesus had spoken with Dumbledore's last words... (Severus.... Please....).
I wonder if JK Rowling lifted this particular part from the
Judas-Jesus saga...
P.S: In case you are a unsuspecting harry potter fan who stumbled upon this blog before reading the final book, all i can say to you is.......
BUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
