Planet Rebirth

Yang Rui smiled and said, "I just want to watch Jesus die. That's my purpose. As for who killed him and how he died, I don't care."

Although Judas didn't speak, Yang Rui already knew that Judas' heart had betrayed. He stood up and said, "Take some time tomorrow to go to the northwest, where the priests from Jerusalem are stationed, and tell them the whereabouts of Jesus. You You can get thirty gold coins."

Judas asked, "What will the chief priests do with Jesus?"

Yang Rui said: "Tomorrow is Passover, and Jesus will be arrested that night. You only need to lead the clergy to find Jesus, and you don't have to worry about the rest."

Early the next morning, Judas slipped out alone while the whole village was still asleep, and followed Yang Rui's instructions to the priest's residence.

No sooner had he entered the tent than one of the priests asked, "Who are you?"

Judas said with a guilty conscience, "My name is Judas."

"Judas?" The priest seemed familiar when he heard the name.

Judas added: "I was one of Jesus' twelve disciples."

Upon hearing this, all the priests in the tent became alert and quickly surrounded Judas, fearing that he would escape. The priest continued to ask, "Are you surrendering yourself?"

Judas shook his head and said, "Accurately, I am here to make meritorious service."

"For meritorious service?" The priest asked with a contemptuous smile, "What information did you bring that deserves my consideration for you to perform meritorious service?"

Judas said, "I know where Jesus is hiding."

Immediately the priest asked, "Where is he now?"

Judas said: "You must agree to my conditions before I will speak out, otherwise I will not say a word to you."

The priest nodded and said, "Say, tell me your conditions."

Judah said: "First of all, I want Jerusalem to release me from being hunted down and forgive me from all crimes."

The priest thought for a while and said, "Yes."

Judas continued, "Also, I want a reward of thirty gold pieces."

"That's all?" The priest couldn't believe his ears. He smiled and said, "I promise you everything. As long as you tell the hiding place of Jesus, I will pay you thirty gold coins immediately. As for your guilt." Exemption, I will mention it to the chief priest later, and let the governor of Rome issue an order to pardon all your sins, you don’t have to hide in the east, you can live freely anywhere with the thirty gold coins.”

Judas stretched out his palm and said, "Then pay me thirty gold coins first."

Clutching the money bag containing thirty gold coins, the priest asked, "Where is Jesus?"

Judah said, "It's in a small village southeast of here."

The priest handed the purse to Judas and asked again, "But we don't know Jesus himself. When we arrive at that village, how do we arrest him?"

Judas took the money bag and hurriedly put it into his arms and said: "Today is the Passover. Jesus will call us twelve disciples to have dinner tonight. When the dinner is over, according to his custom. He will definitely go out to see us off. You lie in ambush. In the dark, see whose cheek I kiss, that's Jesus."

The priest nodded and said, "Then we've made a deal."

Judah said, "I must return immediately, before others may suspect me."

After finishing speaking, Judas hurried back to the small village with the reward. When he arrived at his residence, before he could hide the coins, Matthew opened the door and came in.Seeing Judas, he asked, "Where have you been today?"

Judah explained in panic: "I went out and went to the market town to buy some necessities for the master. Magdalene is pregnant, and this woman needs more things."

Matthew nodded and said, "That's the best."

Judas asked, "What do you want from me?"

Matthew smiled and said, "The Passover meal is ready. The master told me to come to you, and you are the only one left."

Judas went out of the room and said, "Then hurry."

Judas followed Matthew to the place where Jesus lived. As soon as he entered, Jesus smiled and said, "Judas, you have finally appeared. Take your seat quickly. Everyone is waiting impatiently."

Judas hurried to explain.Jesus wavered and said, "Forget it, no need to explain, today is Passover, everyone should hurry up and eat."

Judas found a place to sit down anxiously, one of his hands was put into his robe and he tightly grasped the heavy money bag.

The Passover dinner was very rich, and Matthew actually brought lamb and fresh vegetables, so that all the people present whetted their appetites.

Everyone drank a lot of wine, ate a lot of lamb and vegetables with matzo, and laughed loudly throughout the meal.However, during this process, Jesus remained silent and ate the food in front of him silently.

His every move is under the observation of Judas. Usually Jesus is very funny and talkative. Dinner is a necessary place for him to preach. He will not let this opportunity pass. Always restless.

At this moment, Jesus suddenly raised his head and looked at Judas. Due to his guilty conscience, Judas quickly lowered his eyes and did not dare to look at Jesus.

At this time, Jesus stopped eating and drinking, and his eyes slowly swept over everyone in the room. Seeing that Jesus seemed to have something to say, everyone stopped making noise and looked at him quietly.

Jesus was silent for a long time, and finally he spoke: "I already know that one of you has betrayed me. I am about to be arrested by the priests from Jerusalem, and I also know who betrayed me. I hope he will be brave stand out."

As soon as the words came out, all the people were so shocked that they could not speak, but Judas trembled even more in fear. He knew that once Jesus said that he had betrayed himself, the other disciples would definitely tear himself to pieces. .

Jesus glanced at Judas, and continued to speak slowly: "I do not say these words to incriminate anyone. I understand my own destiny. I am mortal, and I am going to die for all the people in the world in exchange for to their eternal life."

Peter said: "My master, you must leave here immediately, and please tell me who the person who betrayed you is, I must kill him!"

Jesus shook his head and said: "I will not say the name of this person, because all this is my destiny, and I will accept it calmly. My death is not important. What is important is that after I die, what I created How the religion survives, instead of disappearing forever after I die. If it becomes like that, I can't answer to God."

Jesus took a sip of wine and said, "Magdalene already has my flesh and blood. I hope you can give birth to this child safely. Whether it is male or female, he will become a new generation of Pope."

"This child is still unknown!" Ya Ge suddenly said: "How do you tell us to believe in an unborn child?"

Jesus glanced at Accord and said, "Since this child has my flesh and blood, he will naturally be able to perform miracles like me. And he will grow up under the teaching of a wise man, and he will eventually be able to shoulder important responsibilities."

Accord also said: "Peter is your first saint, and he has followed you for the longest time, and he is highly respected. I think his successor is the most ideal candidate, even if you want to give the position of pope to the unborn child, Before the child reaches adulthood, put Peter in charge of everything."

Jesus was silent for a moment, then he glanced around the room again, his eyes resting on everyone's face, obviously he got the answer.At the same time, a helpless wry smile appeared on his face.

He said: "In this case, let Magdalene succeed me. Magdalene is an adult. I don't think you will object anymore."

Accord exclaimed: "Why her? My master, what you have to consider is the future, which is hundreds or even thousands of years later, not just a few decades. We have gone through hardships to create this Sects cannot be destroyed because of things handed down from generation to generation."

Matthew also said: "I also agree with Peter's succession, which is good for everyone."

Matthew's words got everyone's acquiescence, and Jesus had no choice. He drank up the wine in his glass and sighed and said, "It seems that God is right. He understands human beings so well. He told me to tell you this." Yes, I don't believe that you will do this, but it really happened. It seems that I deserve to die, and maybe I can wake you up." (To be continued...)
