   • 2007 December 2, April D. DeConick, “What the Gospel of Judas really says”, in The New York Times‎^[1], →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 23 November 2011, Essay‎^[2]:

     Unfortunately, after re-translating the society's transcription of the Coptic text, I have found that the actual meaning is vastly different. While National Geographic's translation supported the provocative interpretation of Judas as a hero, a more careful reading makes clear that Judas is not only no hero, he is a demon.
