But did you realize that Jesus was fully aware of Judas' betrayal? Why have i never thought of that before? He knew what Judas was doing like He knew about Peter's denials, and even about His own death.
They sat near each other in the upper room. Shared bread and conversation. Jesus even told the Apostles one of them would betray Him and Judas just sat there while the others looked around astonished wondering who...even wondering if it was them self. Peter motioned for John to ask Jesus who it was. John leans over like you would to your friend in the middle of any loud event, he leans over and asks "Who?"
Jesus tells him 'the next person to dip their bread in this bowl will be the one.' Can you even begin to imagine the pain Judas caused Jesus? Its not like an enemy, or some unknown person, he is one of the Apostles. One of Jesus' good friends. Yet Jesus repeatedly spoke to Judas about it, asking him why. Its bad enough after the fact, but to know before hand that a friend will betray your trust and friendship must have been horrible.
