Someone just sent me this NY Times article (that does not require free

"An early Christian manuscript, including the only known text of what
is known as the Gospel of Judas, has surfaced after 1,700 years. The
text gives new insights into the relationship of Jesus and the
disciple who betrayed him, scholars reported today. In this version,
Jesus asked Judas, as a close friend, to sell him out to the
authorities, telling Judas he will "exceed" the other disciples by
doing so."
