Introduction Was Judas really a traitor? Or was he a faithful disciple fulfilling his mission? Judas: Betrayer or Friend of Jesus? shows that many popular (and scholarly) conceptions about Judas have little basis in fact. Many Bible translations have knowingly mistranslated the Greek, paradidomi ("hand over") with "betray," but this meaning is found nowhere else in Greek literature. Perhaps Judas thought his "handing over" of Jesus to the authorities was according to Jesus' wishes and would bring in the kingdom.
