Judas Iscariot

Judas Iscariot Story 


In the Bible, Judas Iscariot is one of the twelve helpers (apostles) of Jesus Christ. He is famous for betraying Jesus, which led to Jesus being arrested and later dying on the cross. Here are some important points about Judas Iscariot:

1. His Role: Judas was one of Jesus' close friends and was trusted to keep the group's money.


2. The Betrayal: Judas betrayed Jesus for thirty silver coins. He showed the guards who Jesus was by kissing him in a garden. This story is told in the Bible's books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.


3. Why and What Happened Next: People wonder why Judas betrayed Jesus. Some think it was because he wanted money. After betraying Jesus, Judas felt very sorry and tried to give back the money. In the book of Matthew, it says Judas was so sad that he hanged himself.


4. Different Views: Many people think Judas did a very bad thing. But some other texts, like the *Gospel of Judas*, suggest that maybe his actions were part of a bigger plan.


Judas Iscariot's story teaches us about betrayal (doing wrong to someone who trusts you), loyalty (being faithful), and repentance (feeling sorry for doing wrong) .
