“You will, Judas, my brother. God will give you the strength, as much as you lack, because it is necessary—it is necessary for me to be killed and for you to betray me. We two must save the world. Help me.”
Judas bowed his head. After a moment he asked, “If you had to betray your master, would you do it?”
Jesus reflected for a long time. Finally he said, “No, I’m afraid I wouldn’t be able to. That is why God pitied me and gave me the easier task: to be crucified.”

“I’m writing you, to catch you up on places I’ve been
And you held this letter Probably got excited But there’s nothing else inside it
Didn’t have a camera by my side this time Hoping I would see the world through both my eyes Maybe I will tell you all about it When I’m in the mood to lose my way with words.”
