At the end of the last century, a manuscript was found that contained The gospel of Judah. Finally, a unique historical document was read and even verified its authenticity. Managed to do it American scientist led by Joseph Bareib.
According to the contents of the document found, Judas was not a renegade who for the sake of some miserable thirty silver coins betrayed his Master.

Note that the Gospel of Judah was mentioned in many sources, but it was not possible to find him for a long time. Most likely, even because that the official church “canonized” Judas into a traitor and therefore was interested in hiding this document (difficult suggest that the church fathers at the dawn of Christianity did not know about its contents).
The Gospel of Judas was found in 1970 – in a cave, not far from Nag Hammadi, a small village on the banks of the Nile. it was an ancient manuscript that contained three documents, including and the one in question.
The main difficulty was to restore almost lost manuscripts, then it took another time to confirm the authenticity of this document. And that finally happened.
In Christianity, and in high life, the name of Judah is associated with us with betrayal, and betrayal of the saint himself. IN the text of the found document says that Jesus believed Judas his best and most loyal student. And he really was. That is why Christ chose him to fulfill such a complex mission – betrayal. Why did Jesus Christ need this, in we will not touch on this article – it’s big and deep topic.

In the light of the new gospel, understatement also becomes Last Supper, on which the question of betrayal arose. Seemed why would it? It is now becoming quite logical Jesus this evening to Judah. It turns out that Teacher himself forced Judas betray him, moreover, he gave detailed instructions on what and how have to do.
And when Judas kisses Jesus, he just says goodbye to his A teacher, not a sign to the guards. Somewhat incomprehensible remains the act of Judah – his hanging after completing his assignment your teacher. But perhaps this was done as directed by Jesus Christ, who thus took his best disciple with him in another world.

Scholars rightly consider the find of the Gospel of Jude one and the most important, which is commensurate with the Kurman manuscripts.
