What did Judas think of Jesus?

Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus' twelve disciples, is often depicted as having a complex relationship with Jesus. While he initially followed Jesus and was part of his inner circle, his motivations appear to have been influenced by personal ambition and disillusionment. Some interpretations suggest that Judas may have seen Jesus as a political figure who could liberate Israel, but ultimately betrayed him, possibly believing that Jesus would still fulfill his mission even after his arrest. This betrayal has led to Judas being labeled as a symbol of treachery in Christian tradition.
