Judas. His name is synonymous with betrayal. He lived alongside Jesus. He listened to Him. He ate with Him. He appeared to follow Him—but He never did. In the end, Judas left the minority who followed Jesus and chose to stand with the crowd that hated Him. Alistair Begg walks us through Judas’s betrayal and encourages us to stand with Christ.
1When Jesus had spoken these words, nhe went out with his disciples across othe brook Kidron, where there was a garden, which he and his disciples entered. 2Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew pthe place, for qJesus often met there with his disciples. 3rSo Judas, having procured a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, went there with lanterns and torches and weapons. 4Then Jesus, sknowing all that would happen to him, came forward and said to them, t“Whom do you seek?” 5They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.”1 Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them. 6uWhen Jesus2 said to them, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground. 7So he asked them again, t“Whom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.” 8Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. So, if you seek me, let these men go.” 9vThis was to fulfill the word that he had spoken: “Of those whom you gave me I have lost not one.” 10Then Simon Peter, whaving a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant3 and cut off his right ear. (The servant's name was Malchus.) 11So Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into its sheath; xshall I not drink the cup that the Father has given me?”
12So the band of soldiers and their captain and the officers of the Jews4 arrested Jesus and bound him.
