disciple of Jesus Christ, who betrayed his master.
one of Jesus' 12 original Jewish disciples
said to be the most educated of the disciples
told the authorities where Jesus could be arrested,
and received 30 silver coins for that information.
committed suicide by hanging, after remorse over seeing
Jesus crucified.
the phrase "to be a Judas" derives from this betrayal, of
anyone who turns against someone they had professed to
be originally for.

| ...He could only find simple people: a fisherman, a woodcutter, a shoemaker – simple men. All his disciples, except Judas, were uneducated. Only Judas was really cultured, a refined gentleman, and he sold Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. This cultured, refined Judas betrayed him, and Jesus knew that if anybody can betray him it is Judas. Why? Because the heart can be betrayed only by the head. Love can only be betrayed by logic; nothing else can betray... --Osho No Water, No Moon, ch. 2 |
