ABC will broadcast “Judas,” a made-for-TV movie, next week. The two-hour movie, to be shown at 9 p.m. on March 8, will focus on the figure who, according to the New Testament, betrayed Jesus. The film, which follows on the heels of the controversial “The Passion of the Christ,” portrays a Judas convinced that Jesus will lead the Jews to victory over the Romans.
