What comes to mind when you hear the name Judas? Most of us think of betrayal first. Judas betrayed Jesus. Judas struck a deal with the authorities. Judas is the one who sold Jesus out. The second thing that comes to mind is a sense of relief. The disciples gazed at one another, uncertain which one was the betrayer. "Lord, who is it?" one of them asks, but they all want to know. It could be any of them, judging by their uncertainty and question. When Jesus gave Judas the piece of bread, I'm sure Peter and the others breathed a sigh of relief.
