What does the Bible say about Judas betraying Jesus?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible recounts that Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve apostles, betrayed Jesus with a kiss to identify Him to those who came to arrest Him.
In Luke 22:47-53, Judas, who was called a devil by Jesus earlier in John 6:70-71, approached the Lord and betrayed Him with a kiss, a symbol of friendship turned into an act of betrayal. This act not only highlights Judas's hypocrisy but also fulfills the Scriptures regarding the Messiah's fate. Judas's betrayal serves as a profound demonstration of human depravity and the effects of sin in one's heart. The events were orchestrated by God's sovereign plan and foreknowledge, with Judas willingly participating in the wicked plot to betray the innocent Son of God.
