Scholars without exception engage in confirmation bias over the Gospel of Judas. It isn't the Bible! The "man who bears me" is a gnostic practitioner on the way to becoming a Master. It isnt Master Jesus here. It was James, the only period character known to have been stoned by fellow disciples, like the vision 'Judas' says he had in the text.

Marvin Meyer was the best expert on this while he was alive. I spoke with him twice by phone and he was most gracious to me. I tried to tell him that scholars missed the point. Judas -- not Jesus -- is the "man who bears me." But his Presbyter background prevented him from following me. I am a practicing mystic (or 'Gnostic'). I practice every day, and I know what this is all about. The Word is apophasis (not said) and can be heard only within. I wrote two of my own books about this, Misreading Judas and The Bible says Saviors - Obadiah 1:21. We will need more work on this Gospel to fully interpret it, but it is about fictional 'Judas,' as successor James the Just, not Jesus.
