Bible translators have mistranslated the Greek word for "hand over" or "deliver",   to "betray".

Jesus is quoted in John 13.21: "Verily, verify, I say unto you, that  one of you shall betray me."

The Gospel of Judas (Iscariot, not Thomas)- said to be one of the greatest archaeological discoveries of modern times - is about to be published amid explosive controversy, Britain's The Mail on Sunday newspaper revealed yesterday.
The 62-page papyrus manuscript of the text was uncovered in Egypt during the 1950s or 1960s,
Scholars have translated 26 pages of a crumbling ancient text that purports to tell the story of Jesus's last days from the perspective of Judas Iscariot, a man reviled for almost 2000 years.
Sensationally, the manuscript portrays him not as a villain but as a hero and Christ's favoured disciple.
The papyrus document dates back to the 4th Century, but is believed to be a translation of a Greek text written in AD 187.

The existence of a Gospel of Judas, which was originally written in Greek, was outlined by a bishop, Saint Irenee, when he denounced the text as heretical during the second century.
