17When evening came, Jesus arrived with the Twelve. 18While they were reclining at the table eating, he said, "I tell you the truth, one of you will betray me—one who is eating with me." 19They were saddened, and one by one they said to him, "Surely not I?"
20"It is one of the Twelve," he replied, "one who dips bread into the bowl with me. 21The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born."

Judas has troubled me in the same way that the pharoah, whose heart was heartened by God in Exodus, has always troubled me.
Did these men really choose to defy God or were they pre-ordained to do it? I'd like to think that they chose it and not God. That God knew what they would do and would have wished otherwise, but these men chose to defy God's will. Yet how can we or anything in creation defy God's will? And yet, didn't God give us that power when he gave us free will? One of those theological questions that make my head spin.
