Judas and Peter both got caught up in a drama of spiritual warfare that they could neither recognize nor fathom. Satan directly pursued both disciples, yet each bore a measure of personal responsibility, for Satan conquers no one without cooperation.

One realized his error and hung himself. The other realized his error, repented, and became a pillar of the church.
