    Jesus knew that Judas would betray him before Judas knew that he would betray him.

      Also, Judas is vilified for doing what God made him do. Seems harsh. And 20 pieces of silver is 20 pieces of silver.

        Now that you mention it, it’s really Judas we should be thanking for all this. Otherwise Jesus might not have died for our sins. He might have just gotten hit by a bus or a runaway goatskin cart or whatever they had back then.

        Did you just shortchange Judas 10 pieces of silver?

          He got his 10 pieces of silver, fair and square. What would you even spend 5 pieces of silver on back then?

            I want to see the pawn stars meme with Judas trying to sell Jesus. “This messiah… it’s just gonna sit here.” And “I know a guy who knows about messiahs.” Then chumly is gonna go take him for a ride on a motorcycle in the desert.

      And Jesus has the audacity to say

      Woe to that one by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that one not to have been born.

      Guess what, someone had to betray you for the story to go forward
