GSW: Jesus knew it was Judas but not all along. Judas was faithful to Jesus till that incident with the Alabaster box. It doesn’t take much to turn some people against you. There was a way a Holy Man or Woman ought to behave in our opinion. If they don’t behave that way, we feel they are fake. Jesus didn’t behave that way. That was the problem. I have a pastor friend who got divorced. On the day the divorce was announced in court, he told his fellowship members himself that he had gotten divorced. Many members left. You will think the remaining were okay with his new status and willing to continue with him.
Some of them stayed on as spies for his ex-wife. They report to her everything he is doing within the fellowship and his personal life. They were being loyal. She was their friend. Eventually he noticed that his ex-wife would behave somehow to him regarding the children etc. He kept wondering how she says some things etc. He later realized she was getting info. So he began to feed them wrong info. They in turn will tell this to the ex wife causing confusion among them. Now all of them don’t talk to each other again. Wife hates them. They dislike him but the man had peace. He is a pastor. Pastors are supposed to be straight like arrow and easy to read and predict. How can a pastor stoop so low?
