3Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
4And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.
5And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.
6And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude.

Was judas possessed?
I think we can be tempted by the devil and if we take pleasure in an evil thought from him we become evil like him in this area? maybe..
I hope I said nothing wrong...
Maybe wait and see what others say..
Sayedna meeting an unknown monk
There was a time when Bishop Karas told a family that before he was sick, he used to walk in the Wilderness. When he was walking, he used to see one of the monks that were at the monastery, and would greet him. However, the monk didn't have any crosses on the Kolonsoa (Head Covering For Orthodox Monks), and the monk hugged him very hard that he couldn't breathe. Sayedna made the sign of the cross on him, and then the monk disappeared out of the Galabeya (Tunic) and Kolonsoa. Bishop Karas also mentioned that he believed this was satan trying to trick him.

In the story of St. Samuel the confessor, once he was captured by the berbers, and became their slave. His master wanted St. Samuel to worship the sun as he did, but he refused. Then the devil apearing in the form of a man went to St. Samuel's master and told him that if he ties St. Samuel's leg to the leg of another female slave....and leave them together for a while, they would fall in sin, and then he would obey him and worship the idols. later the masters son was sick so st samuel prayed for him and he was cured, so the master was so happy and he apologized so st samuel and let him go
Also in the story of St. Youstina, because she was so beautiful a prince wanted to marry her, but she refused, so he told a magician, Kebrianos, if he could get her to marry him he would give him anything he wanted. So Kebrianos consulted the devil and the devil told him ok he can get her, but he couldnt. So the devil took the form of St. Youstina and went to the prince, as soon as the prince saw her (the devil) he shouted Youstina, youstina, so just by hearing the name of the blessed saint, he vanished
so the devil can take the form of humans
