He was one of the chosen 12.

Judas had been with Jesus for 3 years.

Judas believed Jesus was the leader Israel had been waiting for.
A leader who would bring revolution,
who would establish Israel again as the kingdom of God.

But things had begun not to going in the direction Judas had first thought.

So Judas betrayed him.

He went to Jesus¹ enemies and agreed to hand him over and they gave him 30 pieces of silver.

A few nights later, in a garden outside Jerusalem, Judas led soldiers to Jesus and his friends.

Judas greeted Jesus with a kiss and the soldiers arrested him.

And so into history the name Judas is associated with betrayal.

'You Judas we say, but perhaps it should be I Judas, for not one of us is without sin.'
