Easter Week-Wednesday
"Then one of the twelve, Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said, 'What are you willing to give me to betray Him to you?' And they weighed out thirty pieces of silver to him. From then on he began looking for a good opportunity to betray Jesus."
~Matthew 26:14-16
"Then Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went off to the chief priests in order to betray Him to them. They were glad when they heard this, and promised to give him money. And he began seeking how to betray Him at an opportune time."
~Mark 14:10-11
"Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching. The chief priests and the scribes were seeking how they might put Him to death; for they were afraid of the people. And Satan entered into Judas who was called Iscariot, belonging to the number of the twelve. And he went away and discussed with the chief priests and officers how he might betray Him to them. They were glad and agreed to give him money. So he consented, and began seeking a good opportunity to betray Him to them apart from the crowd."
~Luke 22:1-6
I find it very interesting that the 3 synoptic gospels all tell of Judas going to the chief priests to work out his betrayal plan. And Luke goes further to tell us that Satan entered into Judas. How those men must have felt about Judas and his betrayal when the Holy Spirit inspired them to write the gospels?! It is also interesting to me that they all say "one of the twelve" and do not say "one of us."
