The Bible story of Judas' betrayal of Jesus in Gethsemane in Matthew 26:47-56, Mark 14:43-50 and John 18:3-12is a significant event in the New Testament. After the Last Supper, Jesus and his disciples went to the Garden of Gethsemane, where he prayed and asked his Father to take the cup of suffering from him. Judas arrived with a group of soldiers and identified Jesus with a kiss, which led to his arrest.
Judas' betrayal of Jesus for thirty pieces of silver fulfilled a prophecy and set into motion the events that would lead to Jesus' crucifixion. The story serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers of greed and the importance of staying true to one's values and beliefs.
