PRELUDE:

Multitude of voices:

Keter-Hokhmah-Binah
Hesed-Gevurah-Tiferet
Netzah-Hod-Yesod-Malkuth

Keter-Hokhmah-Binah
Hesed-Gevurah-Tiferet
are spheres of the Holy truth.

GOSPEL OF JUDAS:

Narrator:

Jesus Christ is the son of the Godhead,
Whose blood is the wine and whose body is the bread,
That was partaken of at the Last Supper,
Where, within the house, away in an upper room,
The Christ took Judas Iscariot aside,
And told him he must betray his life.

Indeed, as it seems,
Judas was the only disciple who understood the teachings.

Judas:

Lord, I take thee at thy word,
But to do this task is quite absurd.
Why should I condemn thee to die,
When thou art the gift of eternal life?
Your request causes my heart much strife.
I ask you: why?

Jesus:

Judas, I speak to thee as thy Lord,
If I am to be Christ; if myself is the word,
Then I, comprised of abstract form,
Melded onto flesh and bone,
Must transcend beyond the physical life,
To be the risen Christ.

Narrator:

When Jesus had said all he needed to tell,
He departed from Judas to address the twelve, saying:

Jesus:

One of you will raise a church in my name,
But only evils shall occur within.

Narrator:

And Peter's face, it told, oh, of much pain.
His church is in vain.

And so the Lord went unto Gethsemane,
Where he sat and thought beneath a great old tree.
Whilst Judas cried long into the night,
What he must do felt wrong, but he knew it was right.
For how else could Jesus ascend to be the light,
The truth and the life.

Narrator & Judas:

And so the time came to do the deed,
Judas called the Sanhedrin, at once taking heed.
And he led them out to the great old tree,
Took Jesus' face in his hands and he kissed his cheek.
And said "Rabbi, oh look, for it is me,
So may it be."

Narrator:

And Jesus was taken to Golgotha and died,
But the soul is eternal - forever alive,
And so Jesus did become the word,
Spread around the Earth; from all ears heard.
So the Christ took Judas Iscariot aside,
And told him he must betray his life.
