The Gospel of Judas is an ancient text that was discovered in the 1970s and is believed to date back to the 2nd century. This document presents a different perspective on the relationship between Judas Iscariot and Jesus Christ, suggesting that Judas was not a traitor but rather acted on Jesus' instructions to betray him. The text is part of a group of writings known as Gnostic gospels, which offer alternative views on Christian teachings. The Gospel of Judas challenges traditional narratives found in the New Testament and has sparked interest and debate among scholars and theologians regarding its implications for early Christianity.
