Notes

Matthew 26:14–16

Judas sold himself to the authorities (see also John 11:57), kept it secret (Matthew 26:25), and led them to Jesus at the right time to arrest him (26:47–56; see John 18:2). Later, feeling guilty, Judas killed himself (Matthew 27:3–10; see Acts 1:15–22).

Judas was known for his greed (Matthew 26:14–15; John 12:4–6; 13:29). Some think he may also have been disappointed in the kind of Messiah Jesus was, ashamed after the anointing of Jesus (see John 12:1–8). Others think he may have been resentful of the leadership of Peter, James, and John. Whatever his reasons, Judas’s betrayal was still part of God’s larger plan (Acts 1:16–17).
