Which is why, I suppose, there is an aura of predestination surrounding Judas where he is mentioned in the gospels. Which isn’t to say that this aura is put in there, or contrived, as a sort of literary device, in order to resolve the conundrum of him, but rather that, because predestination is a facet of reality that the scriptures reveal, it is of course going to be revealed most profoundly in those moments when the drama of the incarnation reaches its highest pitch.
