>> but judas himself isnt the person that the author in the text is most interested in. >> regardless of whether judas was a good or bad character in this text, what most scholars would agree is that the gospel of judas is not really about the figure of judas. the disciples are the ones being criticized by the author. >> the real shock reveal of the gospel of judas is that none of the disciples are good. thats what really probably should have been the headline. none of the disciples are that gre...

Jesus. another member of the jewish council, nicodemus. >> nicodemus, much like joseph of arimathea, was also a member of the sanhedrin, a prominent man in jewish society. >> its clear that not all the jews in jerusalem were behind jesus death. for the simple reason that jesus was jewish, his followers and disciples were jewish. not only that, not even all the jewish authorities were responsible for jesus death because you have people like joseph of arimathea and nicodemus. >> the body is taken ...

Magdalene and jesus and the other disciples and thats the last folio which is in folio 51. so can we see that? there it is. beautiful. so when saying 114, we see a little argument, a little dispute, a little scene unfolding. >> the gospel of thomas tells of an angry episode when peter vents his resentment against mary. >> tell mary to leave us because shes a woman and not worthy of life, spiritual life. similar to the jewish tradition that women arent supposed to be taught torah. >> another lost...

Particular im very excited to see. and that is 63, 64. there it is. yeah. there are two moments in the gospel of phillip that really say something interesting about the relationship between jesus and mary magdalene. one is that he, jesus, refers to mary magdalene as his companion or consort. it says explicitly that jesus loved mary magdalene more than the other disciples. >> why do you love her more than all of us? >> why do i not love you as i do her? >> and theres another moment where he kisse...

Mystery of marys disappearance after the resurrection? >> having a brand new text to tell us about mary magdalene and the relationship between mary and jesus is really, really, exciting for us. >> the gospel picks up her story after jesus has risen from the dead. >> peter, i have seen the lord. >> tell us the words of the savior, what you remember. what you know but we do not. you have heard them. >> what is hidden from you, i will proclaim to you. >> the key point is that mary is the instructor...
