• PER315 The Departure of Judas Iscariot

    The article explores the dramatic departure of Judas Iscariot during the last Passover meal, described essentially in the Gospel of John. This moment, steeped in symbolism, marks the progress of the redemptive drama leading to the arrest of Jesus, highlighting the complexity of Jesus' gesture of offering bread to Judas, at once an act of grace and of judgment.

    John 13.18 (King James Version) :
    I speak not of you all: I know whom I have chosen: but that the scripture may be fulfilled, He that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel against me.
    King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
