12: Judas Iscariot

 12: Judas Iscariot by ric gustafson

Who was Judas Iscariot?. Why did he betray Jesus?. Iscariot was a surname. Judas was the only Judean among the apostles. Judas's father was Simon Iscariot. Up to the Last Supper, Judas was not disloyal. He heard with the others that someone would betray him. When he was given bread dipped in a dish, he went out and betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. 
After Jesus was arrested and led away, Judas was stung by remorse. He did not go to Jesus for forgiveness. He went and hanged himself. St Matthias took his place.
