Record summary
The Gospel of Judas portrays a revelatory exchange in which Judas receives distinctive teaching from Jesus and is associated with the handing-over of Jesus, though the precise interpretation of that role is debated. Its Coptic witness belongs to the Codex Tchacos, whose modern recovery involved undocumented antiquities-market circulation and extensive conservation. It matters for comparison because translation, reconstruction, and media framing strongly affect interpretation. Scholars debate its relation to Sethian literature, the meaning of Judas’s actions, and the extent of textual corruption.
