Bible Note: Remorse, Not Genuine Repentance Aliennow: You write: "It seems to me by admitting his sin he (Judas) did repent." ____________________ ...with remorse [with little more than a selfish dread of the consequences] he (Judah) brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders, (Ampflified Bible) ____________________ NKJV Matthew 27:3 Then Judas, His betrayer, seeing that He had been condemned, was *remorseful* and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, "Judas felt the sting of his own guilt, but this was not genuine repentance. There is a godly sorrow that leads to repentance, but Judas' remorse was of a different kind, as demonstrated by his suicide (Matt. 27:5). Compare 2 Cor. 7:10" (MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997).
