Why did Judas really betray Jesus? In Matthew 26 NKJV, Judas goes to the chief priests and agrees to betray Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. But the betrayal did not begin there. In John 12 NKJV, Judas complains about expensive perfume being poured on Jesus, but John reveals that Judas did not care about the poor — he was a thief and used to steal from the money box. This Bible psychology short explores Judas Iscariot, the thirty pieces of silver, the Last Supper, Satan entering Judas, secret compromise, greed, disappointment, and betrayal. Judas was close to Jesus physically, but far from Him internally. The warning is clear: You can be close to the truth and still refuse to be changed by it. #Judas #BiblePsychology #BibleMysteries #ThirtyPiecesOfSilver #KingdomMindset
