There was a 1977 television mini-series entitled "Jesus of Nazareth," directed by Franco Zeffirelli, with a really superb cast. Robert Powell played Jesus.
Jesus is sitting a garden when a man walks up to him and says that he would like to join him. He introduces himelf: Judas Iscariot (Ian McShane). Jesus says nothing for what seems like minutes while he gives him a long, searching look, almost a mixture of speculation and dread. Then he says, "Yes. I do have a use for you."
Was Judas forgiven? Yes, I think so. He was just doing what he was supposed to do.
