"A few years ago the news went out to the world that there had been found fragments of a new Gospel. A shepherd by the river of Nile had found a scroll of bleached papyrus. On the last page, written on the last and thirteenth line, one could read: Ευαγγέλιον του - The Gospel of Judas.
This is the Gospeler - not the sinner - Judas Iscariot's own gospel.
This is the damned's own report. This is the scum and perpetrator of whole mankind, taking the word, witnessing about what no one ever could - or would realise: That Judas is the Hero - the One - taking on the Mission to betray his own Master so that the prophesy could be consummated.
The events - ‘the Kiss of Judas’, the capture in the olive garden in the night - are seen from within - from the two making the agreement. The only ones who knew the truth."
