TSK · Matthew 27:3

that the elation of the wicked is brief, the joy of the godless lasts but a moment.

The Plan to Betray Jesus Then one of the twelve, the one named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests

The Plan to Betray Jesus Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests to betray Jesus into their hands.

The chief priests and the experts in the law were trying to find some way to execute Jesus, for they were afraid of the people.

The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, that he should betray Jesus.

So Judas obtained a squad of soldiers and some officers of the chief priests and Pharisees. They came to the orchard with lanterns and torches and weapons.
