27. Since they had descended from Mount Tabor, the Master’s actions had not been those of a messianic leader intent on entering Jerusalem in triumph to claim the Davidic throne of Israel.

28. Without an army to support him, Judas was fearful of what might happen to the Master when he finally entered the Holy City.

29. So many of Jesus’ enemies, among them the Elders and Pharisees, would be looking for the slightest excuse to discredit him, even destroy him.

30. Judas recalled the exhilaration he had felt when he had first joined Jesus’ band of followers. He had been overwhelmed by the authority of the Master’s teaching and proud to be numbered among the chosen twelve.

31. But would he now have to accept that Jesus was no more than a prophet, and that the rich young man might turn out to be right when he had warned: You have chosen to follow a dangerous man, who will lead to the fall of many in Israel?
