The Gospel According to Judas By Benjamin Iscariot (2007)
“When the sun rose the following morning, Jesus and his growing band continued on their journey south to Jerusalem.
2. As they entered the city of Aenon, they were met by a large crowd who wanted to join Jesus on his triumphal march.
3. Among those who gathered around him was a rich young man who owned several leagues of land, reared vast flocks and commanded a large household of servants.
4. Judas made himself known to him.
5. The rich young man made it clear that if Jesus were to assure him of... some important position once he had established himself as the King of Israel, he would willingly sacrifice his entire wealth to follow him.
6. Judas, aware of how the rich young man could assist their purpose, took him directly to the Master, who welcomed him with open arms.
7. The young man, encouraged by Jesus’ gesture, said: Good Rabbi, are you going to establish God’s kingdom in Israel?
8. Jesus smiled. Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone.
Mark 10:18; Luke 18:19 9. Judas was delighted by the Master’s response because, as a devout Jew, he did not, as some Greeks did, wish to make Jesus a God.MoreLess
