Abstract
The article is an exegetical treatment of the Betrayal Announcement Narrative that sheds light on the often misunderstood figure of the traitor, Judas. In exploring the figure of Judas and the grim narrative of his treason, what is equally highlighted in the process is the beauty and radicality of the Lord’s free and fully conscious self- sacrifice, in consummate contraposition of betrayal and unrelenting love. The study also connects the passage to liturgical reflection, enriching appreciation of its meaning.
