When John’s messengers left, Jesus began speaking to the crowds about John: “What did you go out to the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

Therefore if you have not been faithful in the use of earthly wealth, who will entrust the true riches to you?

While He was still speaking, a crowd came, and the man called Judas, one of the twelve [disciples], was leading the way for them. He approached Jesus to kiss Him.

And Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”
