Chosen as an Apostle

Judas Iscariot was chosen as one of the twelve apostles. He is always listed last, with the addition 'the one who betrayed him'.

2These are the names of the twelve apostles: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother; James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother;
τῶν δὲ δώδεκα ἀποστόλων τὰ ὀνόματά ἐστιν ταῦτα· πρῶτος Σίμων ὁ λεγόμενος Πέτρος καὶ Ἀνδρέας ὁ ἀδελφὸς ⸀αὐτοῦ, Ἰάκωβος ὁ τοῦ Ζεβεδαίου καὶ Ἰωάννης ὁ ἀδελφὸς αὐτοῦ,
4Simon the Cananaean,[^1] and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. [^1]: An Aramaic term meaning "the zealous one"; elsewhere rendered "Simon the Zealot."
Σίμων ὁ ⸀Καναναῖος καὶ Ἰούδας ⸀ὁ Ἰσκαριώτης ὁ καὶ παραδοὺς αὐτόν.

The Treasurer Who Stole

Judas held the money bag but stole from it. He criticized Mary for anointing Jesus with expensive oil.

4But Judas Iscariot, one of his disciples, the one who was about to betray him, said,
λέγει ⸀δὲ ⸂Ἰούδας ὁ Ἰσκαριώτης εἷς τῶν μαθητῶν αὐτοῦ⸃, ὁ μέλλων αὐτὸν παραδιδόναι·
5"Why wasn't this perfume sold for three hundred denarii and the money given to the poor?"
Διὰ τί τοῦτο τὸ μύρον οὐκ ἐπράθη τριακοσίων δηναρίων καὶ ἐδόθη πτωχοῖς;
6He said this not because he cared about the poor, but because he was a thief; he kept the money box and used to take what was put into it.
εἶπεν δὲ τοῦτο οὐχ ὅτι περὶ τῶν πτωχῶν ἔμελεν αὐτῷ, ἀλλʼ ὅτι κλέπτης ἦν καὶ τὸ γλωσσόκομον ⸀ἔχων τὰ βαλλόμενα ἐβάσταζεν.

The Agreement to Betray

Judas went to the chief priests and asked what they would give him in exchange for betraying Jesus. They gave him thirty silver coins.

14Then one of the Twelve, the one called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests
Τότε πορευθεὶς εἷς τῶν δώδεκα, ὁ λεγόμενος Ἰούδας Ἰσκαριώτης, πρὸς τοὺς ἀρχιερεῖς
15and said, "What are you willing to give me if I hand him over to you?" They paid him thirty pieces of silver.
εἶπεν· Τί θέλετέ μοι δοῦναι κἀγὼ ὑμῖν παραδώσω αὐτόν; οἱ δὲ ἔστησαν αὐτῷ τριάκοντα ἀργύρια.
16And from then on he watched for an opportunity to betray him.
καὶ ἀπὸ τότε ἐζήτει εὐκαιρίαν ἵνα αὐτὸν παραδῷ.

The Kiss of Betrayal

In Gethsemane, Judas betrayed Jesus with a kiss - the signal he had agreed upon with the soldiers.

47While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, and with him a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the elders of the people.
Καὶ ἔτι αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος ἰδοὺ Ἰούδας εἷς τῶν δώδεκα ἦλθεν καὶ μετʼ αὐτοῦ ὄχλος πολὺς μετὰ μαχαιρῶν καὶ ξύλων ἀπὸ τῶν ἀρχιερέων καὶ πρεσβυτέρων τοῦ λαοῦ.
48The betrayer had given them a sign: "The one I kiss is the man; arrest him."
ὁ δὲ παραδιδοὺς αὐτὸν ἔδωκεν αὐτοῖς σημεῖον λέγων· Ὃν ἂν φιλήσω αὐτός ἐστιν· κρατήσατε αὐτόν.
49He went straight up to Jesus and said, "Greetings, Rabbi!" and kissed him.
καὶ εὐθέως προσελθὼν τῷ Ἰησοῦ εἶπεν· Χαῖρε, ῥαββί· καὶ κατεφίλησεν αὐτόν.
50Jesus said to him, "Friend, do what you came for." Then they came forward, laid hands on Jesus, and arrested him.
ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Ἑταῖρε, ἐφʼ ⸀ὃ πάρει. τότε προσελθόντες ἐπέβαλον τὰς χεῖρας ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰησοῦν καὶ ἐκράτησαν αὐτόν.

The remorse and death

When Judas saw that Jesus was condemned, he repented, threw the silver coins into the temple, went away and hanged himself.

3When Judas, who had betrayed him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was seized with remorse and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,
Τότε ἰδὼν Ἰούδας ὁ ⸀παραδιδοὺς αὐτὸν ὅτι κατεκρίθη μεταμεληθεὶς ⸀ἔστρεψεν τὰ τριάκοντα ἀργύρια τοῖς ἀρχιερεῦσιν ⸀καὶ πρεσβυτέροις
4saying, "I have sinned; I have betrayed innocent blood." But they said, "What is that to us? See to it yourself."
λέγων· Ἥμαρτον παραδοὺς αἷμα ⸀ἀθῷον. οἱ δὲ εἶπαν· Τί πρὸς ἡμᾶς; σὺ ⸀ὄψῃ.
5So he flung the silver into the temple and left; then he went away and hanged himself.
καὶ ῥίψας τὰ ἀργύρια ⸂εἰς τὸν ναὸν⸃ ἀνεχώρησεν, καὶ ἀπελθὼν ἀπήγξατο.
