The betrayal of Judas Iscariot
The article explores the betrayal of Judas Iscariot toward Jesus, an act motivated by a feeling of incompatibility and frustration. Judas, knowing that the authorities are seeking to arrest Jesus, collaborates with them to denounce Jesus, in exchange for 30 pieces of silver. The article analyzes the Gospel accounts of Matthew, Mark and Luke, which describe Judas’s actions and their impact on the events leading to Jesus’s arrest.
Luke 22.1-6 (King James Version) :Now the feast of unleavened bread drew nigh, which is called the Passover.And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them.And they were glad, and covenanted to give him money.And he promised, and sought opportunity to betray him unto them in the absence of the multitude.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
