Paper 183: The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus
1. Why do you think Judas and the temple guards had to go all the way up to Pilate to secure the Roman guards?
2. Why do you think Judas had the gall to betray Jesus with a kiss?
3. Do you think Judas in the Mansion Worlds appreciated Jesus' last attempt to save him from betraying Jesus?
4. Why do you think the New Testament account of the arrest of Jesus has Malchus' ear being cut off?
5. Why do Christian fundamentalists believe Jesus did not call on the 12 legions of angels?
6. David Zebedee had a rather elaborate messenger corps; how do you imagine these people maintained themselves, apparently without working?
7. Was having the Roman captain involved in Jesus' arrest more helpful to the followers of Jesus or the temple guards?
8. Why have many Christians misunderstood the meaning of Jesus' death?
