Jesus then said to him, “What you are going to do, do quickly.” (John 13:21, 25-27) This Wednesday, the gospel is telling us about the act of exchanging the values of Jesus for a little amount of money. And as Judas took the piece of bread, Satan entered into him. “ Jesus was distressed in spirit and said plainly, “Truly, one of you will betray me.”… And the disciple who was reclining near to Jesus asked him, “Lord, who is it?” Jesus answered, “I shall dip a piece of bread in the dish, and he to whom I give it, is the one.” So Jesus dipped the bread and gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. On Tuesday, Jesus declared about the betrayal of one of his disciples. On Monday of the Holy Week, Judas is portrayed as a greed man as he commented on Mary Magdalene’s act, “This perfume could have been sold for three hundred silver coins and turned over to the poor.” Judas, indeed, had no concern for the poor he was a thief and as he held the common purse, he used to help himself to the funds.” (John 12:4-6). If we could notice, the character of Judas Iscariot is one of the name that is often included in the gospels this Holy Week especially from Monday to Holy Friday.
