They said, "What is that to us? You see to it yourself." And he threw down the silver and left the Temple and went off and hung himself.

Then Judas Iscariot, one of the Twelve, went to the high priests to betray Jesus to them. They were delighted to hear it and promised to pay him for it. So he was watching for an opportunity to betray him to them.

Jesus answered them, "Did I not myself select all twelve of you? And even of you, one is an informer." He meant Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, though he was one of the Twelve, was going to betray him.

Before the Passover Festival began, Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father, but he had loved those who were his own in the world, and he loved them to the last. So at supper??he devil having by this time put the thought of betraying Jesus into the mind of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son??3 Jesus, fully aware that the Father had put everything into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God,
