Pope Francis Rehabilitates Judas

Did Jesus forgive His betrayal by Judas? That is what this painting suggests:

This article discusses the issue:

I don't have a problem with that. Almost any sin can be forgiven, even the betrayal of our Lord by one of His friends.

But there is one thing the Bible says cannot be forgiven:

Wherefore I say unto you, All manner of sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven unto men: but the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall not be forgiven unto men. -Matthew 12:31 KJV

I would argue that taking the mark of the beast also cannot be forgiven, but this passage suggests I may be wrong:

And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell. -Matthew 5:30 KJV

What do you think?
