“That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place.”
to take over this apostolic ministry, which Judas left to go where he belongs.' — the euphemism 'go where he belongs' reflects the seriousness of apostolic defection and divine judgment. Judas' abandonment of apostolic ministry is not merely personal failure but betrayal of an office held at Christ's express choosing. The theological point: apostolic continuity and integrity matter profoundly to God's unfolding plan.
