kenh makes a good point... I still am curious why Jesus said this:
"Good [were it] for that man if he had not been born." Matthew 26:24
He never said this to Peter who denied Christ 3 times. Perhaps Peter was told to deny Christ perhaps the Lord just forgave him. Though for the same reason the spirit was lacking

The most difficult to understand in this group is Judas Iscariot. We know the divine plan required Jesus to be crucified, but it is wrenching to think that one of His special witnesses who sat at His feet, heard Him pray, watched Him heal, and felt His touch could betray Him and all that He was for 30 pieces of silver. Never in the history of this world has so little money purchased so much infamy. We are not the ones to judge Judas's fate, but Jesus said of His betrayer, "Good [were it] for that man if he had not been born." 7
