Judas...is that you?
To plot against someone behind the scenes...and then be able to eat with them and even give them "the kiss" of friendship in the public realm is a real act of cowardice...and imitates one who we should not set as our example.
Judas was such a good hypocrite that he had all the disciples fooled. When the Lord Jesus announced that one of them would betray Him, all of the disciples said
"is it I". None of them said "I bet it is that weasel Judas".
Do note that Judas played the actor until the very end...with the money jingling in his pocket he too said "is it I"?

Are you suggesting that Judas was a "weasel" who pretended not to be?
What if there was precious little difference between Judas and other disciples? Remember Peter betrayed too.
Just a thought.
I agree with you mike, that it is only by God's grace that Peter [and the other disciples] repented
and nothing in themselves.
Judas was an actor though, and he played his part to the end.
Peter did not betray. He abandoned.
Thanks for pointing that out Tim, Peter's heart was not to fight against His Lord, as Judas' was.
