There are things in Acts 1 that we must admit tell us (many) things about Judas, both before and after he "became a guide to those who arrested Jesus (1:16)."

1. "He received his share in this ministry." Although this is a summary statement, it points away from any analysis that wants to speculate more what might have been causative of his actions, other than the moral causation mentioned in the next verse, "his wickedness."

2. "Judas turned aside to go to his own place." This is not as much a summary statement, as a use of language of partial depiction, and partial non-depiction. It deliberately says less than a simple question ("where?") might ask an answer for.

3. Similar is the criteria for Peter's task: Peter draws upon a prophecy for what they should do. To see it that way gives no impetus for making Judas an exemplar of a category of a group of people!
