<p>1:17 <i>For he was numbered among us and received his part in this ministry</i>- Alluding to Is. 14:10 LXX, where the King of Babylon is described as a star which fell from the sky and is met by the kings of the earth, who comment that he was now &quot;numbered with us&quot;. The disciples saw Judas as the &quot;guide&quot; or leader of those who killed Jesus (:16), and saw him as having left leadership amongst the Lord's people for a place of leadership amongst the people of His enemies. This helps us better understand how Judas is described as 'satan', the adversary, and how he is presented as personified evil.</p>
