JESUS’ UNIQUE RELATION WITH HIS BETRAYER

CYPRIAN: His wonderful patience is seen in the way he dealt with his disciples. He was even able to tolerate Judas to the end with enduring patience. He could eat calmly with his betrayer. He could patiently be aware of his enemy at his own table and not let on. He did not even refuse the kiss of the traitor. [1] THE GOOD OF PATIENCE 6. [2]
