Many of us know the story of Jesus's betrayal, but have you ever wondered WHY Judas betrayed Jesus? The Bible doesn't give us a clear look into Judas's heart, but that doesn't stop the panel from exploring this Hard Question. - Jak na to + styl
I have a prayer request I suffered a massive stroke last year at the age of 39 I pray that god will renew mentally and physically I pray for total healing thank you god bless
Ryan A wish you the best
Slade Wilson thank you!
May God and Jesus be with you through your bad and good moments
Ryan A Brother Ryan, Jesus is the Great Physician, God is the greatest Healer. The Lord Almighty will heal you. Completly. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

And then there was grace. Jesus became the least of us to show us the way he chose the ones no one else would. By giving us a choice showing us love even when we don't love ourselves ... but sin can seem so sweet until it sours the cost of life is the sacrifice Jesus made for us but we sell ourselves short. In the end he still died for us even knowing how weak we are now that's Love.
We just don't know. He saw all the miracles...he was empowered to do miracles...yet he betrayed the one that gave him everything. What would motivate him to do what he did?
Joh 17:12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
Clearly Judas betrayal was so the scriptures would be fulfilled.
A little bit weird explanation.
Judas' betrayal wasn't because it was written in the scriptures.
But
It was written in the scriptures because Judas would betray Jesus.
The way you said it sounds like Judas being a puppet on strings being controlled to betray so the scriptures are fulfilled.
@@davidardelean2832 Jesus’s betrayal was prophesied in scripture in Zechariah 11:12-13. Judas fulfilled those scriptures. Judas didn’t betray Jesus so they could write about it, he betrayed Jesus because scriptures had already said it would happen. That doesn’t mean he was a puppet on a string , Judas had free will just like we do, but his choices lead to the fulfilment of scripture.
@@tinsmith5633 Judas would had betray Jesus, that's why it was written in the past.
It's a prophecy, a vision in the future, not a predestination. That's what I meant.
No, Judas didn't betray Jesus because it was written, that's logically not the cause of his betrayal. He had his own reasons.
If you say 'betrayal because it was written' you automatically put Judas in strings. That's not what the Bible meant to say.
@@tinsmith5633 ... Read the verses you quoted. You find nothing here referencing someone paid to betray the Messiah... but, instead, Jeremiah, himself, representing the Lord, and asking to be paid by Israel what are his wages. The Judas narrative has nothing whatever to do with this... further evidencing that the Gospel Writers disingenuously twisted its meaning to try and link their Judas story with non-sequitur OT prophecy.
Judas Iscariot became the PHANTOM STRANGER and Merry Christmas 🎄🎁 Blessings and Hugs 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Judas betrayed Jesus as a matter of convenience and when he realised it was beyond his perameters he tried to take it back.👿"I've betrayed innocent blood".
So everything happens according to god's plan.
Right and his emotion was one of legal remorse, not true remorse, he was afraid he'd face consequences and backlash from breaking the law, not because it was wrong morally, he wasn't in repentance but dread or a state almost like what we in modern day call depression, this depression led to suicidal thoughts & actions just as it does for people all the time.
😂my god
And the Bible clearly say that Satan enter him
Never betray Lord Jesus!
Amen chyll !
It is a difficulty because what is presented is not as clear as one might expect considering other information, verses, etc. For instance...
The bible mentions the fact that Judas threw the thirty pieces back and then went and "hanged himself"...and then does the "meanwhile..." trick in MATTHEW. Nothing reads as events in the remote past. In addition, the jumping back and forth within the verses do not help much.
BECAUSE SATAN WAS IN HIM
One has to know that God's grace was even for Judas as it was for Peter who denied Jesus three times. Definitely Judas could have repented like Peter after the denial as grace was still offered to him.
We talk about Judas betrayal yet what about us betraying Jesus time and again for greed, lust, fame and so on. Are we not worst than Judas.
A god can not be betrayed.
It is so simple. He was destined to do so. The Bible tells you that in John 17:12 "While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. He was chosen just as Pharaoh was raised up and chosen so God could get the glory. We are all predestined to do something. The question was, why did Judas betray Jesus? not who was Judas.
Your answer it may sound calvinistic, or like many others would say; God is unfair" but truth be told, God is never unfair, or unjust. God, the creator of the Universe and our creator will always be right and we humans, will always be guilty and deservers of death. God had a plan, and nothing and nobody will be able to interfere or deter His intentions. Whether Judas was chosen by God to accomplish this task is only on God's wisdom and Holy will.
What if Judas did not betray Jesus? What would be the narrative?
Sony Walkman well, the story of Jesus would be no essence.
He's still God and it was bound to happen,it's a old prophecy from before Jesus was born
No Judas , No Jesus , No Christianity.
Today we will live in a very nice society.
Somebody had to invent Judas.
They have to praise him like a big hero
There would be no Judas priest
i believe the reason Judas betrayed Jesus because He didnt truly believe that Jesus was the Messiah.
When unbelievers dont believe in our God the betray us whether they be family or friends. Jesus told Nicodemus that those that live in darkness hate the light. whether they accpet it or not unbelievers are against believers
" Judas betrayed Jesus because He didnt truly believe that Jesus was the Messiah"
Yes, that's more than likely. He certainly wouldn't have done it if he thought that Jesus was the messiah.
"When unbelievers dont believe in our God the betray us ...."
Maybe in some cases - but that obviously wasn't the case with Judas. The concept of the messiah comes from the holy scriptures. God is going to send a savior to restore the kingdom of Israel that God gave to the Israelites. You have to believe in God to believe that a messiah is going to come. Judas obviously believed this.
Judas was the only diciple who called Jesus rabbi. which means teacher. not Lord or son of God.
@TheSmithDorian He would not have killed himself and regret it if he knew he was not god... It's pretty much common sense. He was a traitor and knew Jesus was god, and even witness Jesus's miracles and all. He already knew all that way before. Also, god did not necessarily mean to make it happen that way. He still would had been eventually arrested even if JUDA was never involved.
"He would not have killed himself and regret it if he knew he was not god"
I think you're mixing up God and the messiah. In Hebrew scripture the messiah wasn't supposed to be God - he was supposed to be a human king /ruler of Israel who was blessed by God. Judas (like everyone else) was expecting a warrior / king type figure to come and kick the Romans out and restore the Kingdom of Israel. He wasn't expecting the messiah to be God.
In fact Jesus never told his disciples that he was God and none of them believed that he was. They didn't believe that he had risen on the third day until they saw him with their own eyes.
As for Jesus' miracles - you didn't need to be God to do miracles. Many earlier prophets had done them ... empowered by God.
I think this is the befitting explanation.
I will always forgive even those who hurt me betrayed me because Jesus Christ is my cuz we always forgive still loving and having love and compassion no matter what for all in the world it sets a soul free
Thirty pieces of silver was the price for which Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus, according to an account in the Gospel of Matthew 26:15 in the New Testament. Before the Last Supper, Judas is said to have gone to the chief priests and agreed to hand over Jesus in exchange for 30 silver coins, and to have attempted to return the money afterwards, filled with remorse. (Wikipedia)
Judas’s Deadly Sin is Greedy and that’s was his down fall. Just saying.
No. It was according to God's plan. He was planned to be cursed. You know what I mean?
Well i never know that part. Would you kindly to put verses down for me because i can search it up on google like BibleHub. And on other hand, it's may possible he got cursed with one of deadly sins but it's according to what i am seeing in different angles.
Proverbs 27:6 King James Version (KJV)
6 Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
But in Mark 14:44
#44 Now his betrayer had given them an agreed sign, saying: “Whoever it is I kiss, this is he; take him into custody and lead him away safely.”
MARK being the first gospel written and the only one to say something like that...Whoever I kiss..lead him away safely....
I can't quit figure this out?
I am writing this in the year 2024, I know this video is roughly about nine years ago. So it seems like no one really answered the question when he came to why did Judas do what he did, the conclusion was since Jesus had to get to his ultimate destination, that’s was a part of the plan. Was Judas really a bad guy? I am not so certain he was.
If due to Judas' "betrayal" then all Christians can be salvaged by the death of Jesus, then why he has been considered "traitor"?
And this are the experts?
He did it out of jealousy pure and simple
Judas possessed by Satan is smart, so it was not a miscalculation or mistake by Satan. ( Ephesians Ch 3) The answer is PAUL was never mentioned in any of the prophecies. Paul was part of a mysterious plan by GOD to reveal the message of Grace. Imagine Christianity without PAUL's history or his epistles.
He said Easter week...hmmm
The answer is pretty simple but many people don't like it... God has always had a plan and He knew who He would use for each part of that plan. Judas was created for the purpose he served.. I mean God didn't create Judas and then be shocked that Judas did what he did.. it was all planned by God to fulfill scripture.. Just like pharaoh.. the Bible says that pharaoh fulfilled the purpose he was created for... If you read the scripture Pharaoh didn't harden his own heart, God hardened it so that Pharaoh would not obey. Before Moses went before pharaoh even once God explained to Moses what to do and told Moses that He (God) would harden Pharaoh's heart so that he would not obey. Like I said, it's all very simple we just don't like it.
My KJV now says that Jesus is from the tribe of JUDAS. Per the Mandela Effect. Now that's a "tough question". Care to answer? Thank you.
Last I heard, Lazarus is still around and has a market stall in Jerusalem
Who told you this?
Which is true?
Judas threw the money into the temple, went away and hanged himself (Matthew 27:5) or
Judas bought the field with the money, fell, burst open there and his bowels gushed out (Acts 1:18) ?
They can't both be true.
It makes sense if you consider the hanging being the MEANS of death, and then the disembowelment being the RESULT of such death. (Not trying to be too graphic here, but if the rope, say, snapped at the moment he hung himself, or happened to snap after he had been hanging there for a while, then his bowels would have burst open upon making impact with the ground far below.)
And then comes the part about the money. If you consider the fact that the religious leaders bought the field with the money that Judas threw at them (as is stated in Matt 27:6-8), technically it was still HIS money that he had earned for betraying Jesus. So when they bought the field, it is the same as he himself buying the field, since it was with his money. Hope that helps!
...and the mexicans will pay for the wall!
John Davies if you read the bible or say the good bible then judas hanged himself
John Davies. lol
AmanofGod87 what if the thirty shekels of silver were actually a crown made from flattened mercury dimes, and Judas kissed his own forearm betraying himself, so they crucified him instead of the child Son of Man because he was a time traveler traveling into the past with his childhood self? So in effect the Son of Man as a man betrayed himself.
Judas thought Jesus needed a nudge to begin to put the hurt on the Romans. He also wanted to make a little money for himself on the side.
But in Mark 14:44
#44 Now his betrayer had given them an agreed sign, saying: “Whoever it is I kiss, this is he; take him into custody and lead him away safely.”

What was his betrayal??? Just a kiss can't be the actual answer
But in Mark 14:44
#44 Now his betrayer had given them an agreed sign, saying: “Whoever it is I kiss, this is he; take him into custody and lead him away safely.”
MARK being the first gospel written and the only one to say something like that...Whoever I kiss..lead him away safely....
I can't quit figure this out? Cause it sounds like he had agreement with someone to lead Jesus off safely....maybe judus was also tricked and when he realizes it be hangs himself as it says in MATTHEW 27:4-5
in simple word just to full fill the prophecy
Judas was from the Tribe of JUDAH..the same tribe of JESUS...but Judas was a typical Jew of his time..Judas was a Zealot, cultured in Judahism, associated with the Priestly class(sehendrin, Pharisees) which opposed Jesus teaching!!!...Judas called Jesus "Rabbi".....Judas character was a dishonest person..he was a theift, beggar, rebel, and had a evil heart...he might be also demonized( posses by demons)..Jesus can sense it but he did not expelled his demons because Jesus know his destiny and revilry....it's not our will, but "THE WILL OF GOD"......Giorgio Messina....pray for our Salvatori.....
Simple money power and good old fashioned envy
i dont think it matters , none of that...
How do we know that Judas hanged himself? Presumably his body was found hanged, and the assumption was that it was suicide. But there are several other possibilities: he was executed by his fellow disciples or perhaps silenced by the authorities?
The verse says he hanged himsepf
Dang the price of a slave!
Calvanism and Penal Substitution is heresy.
What would you say to God's script and our choices?
Exactly. This was predestined to happen. So the guy could not have actually escaped and gone a different way in his choices.
You can't answer this question without looking at the prophecies concerning Judas. Acts 1:16. Further the mystery of redemption wouldn't be possible without a Judas. Jesus prayed for Peter and never for Judas. 1Cor.2:7&8.
Anyhow, thanks for your prayers.
Jesus prayed for all of them according the original scripts in greek. Sometimes meaning is lost in translation.
Why Jesus did not stop Judas from stealing money ?
Free will
Satan is the great deceiver, and he was successful in deceiving Judas. How can you be with Yeshua/Jesus all the 3 years and betray him? Yeshua/Jesus' love must have included Jesus. Eve's excuse was in Gen 3:13 And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat. I choose to leave the Judgement of Judas up to the Father-God!- Author of The Chronicles of Assignments: PRINCIPALITIES - An Adventure in Spiritual Warfare, a novel by RW Touchton.
Examine the Scriptures...like a detective.
Judas was the treasurer. He was in charge and the keeping of the money, YET betrays Jesus for money, YET after betraying Him commits suicide! My belief is that Judas had been dipping into the treasury had needed to replace the money, hence he sold Jesus out. But why betray Jesus and then kill himself? - my belief is that Judas never thought they would be able to capture or kill him. Many times Judas had seen Jesus escape capture, many times Judas had witnessed miracles. I think the cross came at a complete surprise to him.
Thus, Judas' plan was to replace money he had stolen and nobody would be the wiser.
Please read the Noble Quran, you will understand why, how judas did it, chapter 19 Mary
judas took up his cross and fallowed jesus into the kingdom
Tune in next time. Goldilocks parents arrested for negligence
judas did it for silver he wanted it
Did Job also opened up for Satan?
NO WAY, NO MATTER WHAT HE PRAISED GOD
He opened up to the spirit of fear. Somewhere in the book of Job it says, "that which I feared the most came to me"
Somewhere in the new testament we later learn thst what you fear becomes your "god"
Did Nero betray Seneca or betrayed Seneca Nerones? Maybe Jesus betrayed Judas?
Judas Iscariot was chosen in the first Earth age. 2 carry out this act of betrayal God had to pick someone to do it that = the crucifixion of Christ the scriptures had to be fulfilled just like the Roman soldiers that nailed Christ to the cross they had no idea what they was doing but they were predestined to carryout the Fulfillment of scripture for this reason Christ said forgive them Father for they know not what they do to give those Souls a chance God will send the Spirit of Slumber up on you in the Greek it means stupor this is where we get our word stupid .God told Zachariah where were you before you enter your mother's womb did I not ordained you to be my prophet that = predestined from the first Earth age this is why we must let the manuscripts interpret themselves if you don't know now you know
Why did Judas betray Jesus?
It was according to god's plan. Everything happens according to his plan. Whether good or bad. If Judas chose good way, we would say it's god's plan. If he chose bad way it was also god's plan. Judas was just used to fulfilled god's plan. So, looking at the place of Judas. Do u think it is fair for him. If it were you or I myself. We would be thinking it is so unfair. Wouldn't you?
Judas betrayed jesus because that's what lead to the prophecy being fulfilled. In other words, it was God's will that Judas "betrayed" Christ. Think of that what you will. That's the truth
IMO, judas didn't betray jesus. Jesus knew he had to suffer for our sins for our salvation, he was still human and of course who WANTS to vo through that. So at the last supper jesus asked his disciples to turn him in to the romans and judas was the only one to obey his last command since jesus didn't want to turn himself in. If YOU were at the last supper would you turn jesus in to the romans knowing it had to be that way for our salvation??? Could you do it??? Guilt drove judas to suicide knowing it had to be done.

Why Did Judas Betray Jesus?..... Bitcoin
The reason Judas betrayed Jesus was that, Judas was an informant. That's what an Infiltrator is, a secret informant. Someone who sell information to an enemy.
The name Judas in Hebrew means: praise. The praised one.
I don't think that can be ignored. Sounds like there's a plan going on here.
Not really Jesus can't name the dude who betrayed him that's his mom's and dad's job ,this is real ppl ,not a story all disciples all of them died and we're on the run untill they decided to live for Christ
If Christ was not betrayed, we could not have been accepted. If Christ had not became the price of a slave, 30 pieces of silver we could not be free. This was all part of salvation package. However I believed that Judas did it because he wanted Christ to be a political messiah and also because he thought that no harm would come to Christ. He saw the lame walked, the blind see, even the dead raised, not to mention Jesus calm the storm and walked on waters. Hmmm, what can these people do to him, perhaps let's put him in place and we will see is reaction
Jesus chose him and he went out and did work so he had to be a believe for Jesus to chose him
Here's my thoughts I think God create Judas just like what God create Adam and eve and God had no choice but to let Jesus to be on the cross and let Judas betray Jesus and sadly let Satan in him just like Adam and just ends in tragedy just like Adam did with God!!
"God has no choice". Hmm
Prophecy wouldnt come true otherwise. I think Jesus and Judas planned it through.
Prophecy
Scripture states he betrayed jesus for 30 pieces of silver. Greed was his God. Don't over think it.
But in Mark 14:44
#44 Now his betrayer had given them an agreed sign, saying: “Whoever it is I kiss, this is he; take him into custody and lead him away safely.”
MARK being the first gospel written and the only one to say something like that...Whoever I kiss..lead him away safely....

BIBLE SAYS SATAN WAS IN HIM
It was God's plan, judas played part in fulfilling bible prophecy. Psalm chapter 41:9, Mine own familiar friend on whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, Hath Lifted Up His Heel Against Me. Judas dipped bread at same time as Jesus into broth, Sop. Jesus told judas do quickly what your going to do, last passover. Bible prophecy!!! .
It surprises me that so far no one has apparently bothered to simply ask the most basic of questions: Why would the Sanhedrin pay Judas such a princely sum... to point out someone they already KNEW well? Yes... you heard me right. In all THREE Synoptic Gospels, Jesus, Himself, points out to the arrest party that they had all SEEN Him teaching daily in the Temple... and had been WITH HIM as He taught (?!):
"Jesus said to them, 'Have you come with swords and clubs to arrest me like you would an outlaw? DAY AFTER DAY I WAS WITH YOU, teaching in the temple courts, yet you did not arrest me.'"
(Mark 14:48-49, Matt 26:55, Luke 22:53)
Thus... They KNEW Him, already! Jesus RECOGNIZED them all... and knew THEY recognized Him. So....... what did it matter whether Judas was there or not to "kiss" Him and point Him out? And why would they pay Judas anything to do so? The simple Truth here is this: There was no "Judas Kiss"... there was no Judas "betrayal"... and there probably was no Judas, period. Instead... the Judas story was later concocted to HIDE the truth regarding those who really DID betray Jesus by testifying against Him at His trial before the Sanhedrin... to save their own skins.
Wanna take a guess who those real betrayers were? Here's a hint: Peter wasn't seated with the guards outside Jesus's trial, unable to leave as people kept recognizing him, 'cuz they were all such great buddies.
Think about it... take all the time you need. ;)
This is Judas' problem, not mine.
A quartet of empty heads wasting time talking utter nonsense. Judas role in God's plan for the salvation of man was predetermined. Instead of blaming him, I think Judas should be made into a saint for playing a central role in this plan. If you strongly feel that you want to spew some bile at somebody then direct it to God. He is the mastermind of this plan
You sound like judas's brother.
Judas was simply doing what Jesus asked. He was the smartest Apostle and was chosen to be their treasurer because he was the most trusted and thrifty. I think Jesus took Judas aside and discussed what needed to be done. Judas did what Jesus asked but later regretted following Jesus' orders. The apostles just didn't understand Jesus' mission so Judas was elected to help Jesus release his spirit from His Earthly body. That's my take on it. Judas loved Jesus enough to do what he asked because he understood. If he was so bad, why didn't the other 11 stop him? I think they knew that Judas really loved Jesus and just didn't understand what the two of them were planning. They were just dumb fishermen.
bill kohler The gospel of Judas?
Satan entered Judas and Christ said, "Whatever you are going to do, do it quickly."
I never understood what the actual betrayal was. Giving a guy a kiss, who supposedly everybody knew? They all shouted for his execution the next day, but nobody around to identify him for the arrest? Strange story. But of course every good fiction story needs a bad guy and nothing better than a friend betraying the main character.
Astounding rubbish, according a well-known yt channel.
Well look @ the current legacy of humanity... Is it far off? Check yourself before it all changes, itll happen in a finger snap.
