Bible Question: Why did Judas betray Jesus? Was it solely for money, or was something else involved? Base response on Scripture. |
Bible Answer: My Bible notes say: Mat 26:15 Matthew alone records the exact amount of money Judas accepted to betray Jesus--30 silver coins, the price of a slave (Exodus 21:32). The religious leaders had planned to wait until after the Passover to take Jesus, but with Judas's unexpected offer, they accelerated their plans. |
