What does the Bible say about betrayal in the context of Judas?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible portrays Judas's betrayal of Jesus, highlighting the wickedness that can occur under the guise of love.

In Luke 22:47-53, Judas Iscariot approaches Jesus with a kiss, a sign of affection that conceals his treachery. This act signifies that the worst treachery can occur under the semblance of love and respect for God. Throughout history, many have justified wicked deeds, like the Inquisition or misguided crusades, as acts of service to God, resembling Judas's betrayal. Such conduct is abominable before God, showcasing a heart turned from genuine affection to murderous intent.
