In Matthew 26:14-16, Mark 14:10-11, and Luke 22:3-6, we see the story of Judas Iscariot's betrayal of Jesus. Judas, one of the twelve disciples, agrees to betray Jesus to the Jewish authorities in exchange for thirty pieces of silver.
In Matthew's account, Judas seeks out the chief priests and asks what they will give him in return for betraying Jesus. They agree to give him thirty pieces of silver, and from that point on, Judas looks for an opportunity to hand Jesus over to them.
In Mark and Luke's accounts, the chief priests approach Judas and offer him money to betray Jesus. Judas agrees and begins to look for a way to betray him.
The story of Judas' betrayal highlights the dangers of greed and the importance of loyalty and trust.
