Did Jesus Christ forgive Judas?

The answer to this question is complicated and depends on one's interpretation of scripture. On the one hand, there are passages in the Bible that suggest Jesus did forgive Judas. For example, in Luke 23:34, Jesus says, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” This could be interpreted as Jesus forgiving Judas, even though it does not specifically name him. Additionally, in John 13:34-35, Jesus says, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” This could be interpreted as Jesus forgiving Judas, since he instructs his disciples to love one another, even those who have wronged them.

On the other hand, there are passages in the Bible that suggest Jesus did not forgive Judas. For example, in Matthew 26:24, Jesus says, “The Son of Man indeed goes just as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been good for that man if he had not been born.” This could be interpreted as Jesus not forgiving Judas, since he says it would have been better if he had never been born. Additionally, in Luke 22:22, Jesus says, “The Son of Man indeed goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!” This could be interpreted as Jesus not forgiving Judas, since he says woe to the man who betrays him.

Ultimately, it is up to each individual to decide how they interpret these passages and whether or not they believe Jesus forgave Judas.
