Summary
This article is an attempt to understand the metaphor of sacrifice in the Gospel of Judas in the context of 2nd century interpretations of the Eucharist. According to 2nd century sources, the »sacrifice« represents thanksgiving to the Creator God. It is against these notions that the author of the Gospel of Judas propagates the »sacrifice« of Judas, which deceives the Creator: He only gets the empty fleshly body of the Saviour.
