What does the Bible say about the devil's role in betrayal?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that the devil plays a significant role in the betrayal of Jesus, specifically influencing Judas Iscariot to fulfill God's sovereign plan.

In John 13:2, we see that it was the devil who prompted Judas Iscariot to betray Jesus, highlighting the sinister role he plays in human affairs. However, it's crucial to understand that this act was not outside of God's sovereign control. The act of betrayal was foreordained as part of the eternal plan of God to accomplish salvation through the cross. Acts 4:27-28 states that those who conspired against Jesus were doing 'whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done,' showing God's sovereignty even in the actions of the wicked.
