Commentary: Tied to Matthew 22:15-22 and John 18:36, the scene shows Judas’ nationalist hopes clashing with Jesus’ spiritual mission. Directors added lines like “You’re to give us Israel back” and “make swords appear” to highlight Judas’ misunderstanding, with historical references (Daniel 2) and miracles (John 11:43-44) for context. These dramatizations amplify tension, staying true to Gospel themes.
