Wednesday: The Last Week of Jesus’ Life Before the Crucifixion (Passion Week)

Then Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve disciples, went to the leading priests and asked, “How much will you pay me to betray (deliver or hand over) Jesus to you?” And they gave him thirty pieces of silver. From that time on, Judas began looking for an opportunity to betray (deliver or hand over) Jesus. Matthew 26:14-16 (NLT).
Why would Judas want to betray Jesus? Judas, like the other disciples and other Jews, expected Jesus to start a political revolt and overthrow Rome. Judas, as did the other disciples, probably assumed (see Mark 10:35-37) that Jesus would give them an important position in His new government. However, as time progress, Judas began to realize that Jesus' Kingdom was not physical or political, but spiritual. Judas's desire for money and high status could not be realized if he continued to follow Jesus. Judas was known for his greed (see John 12:4-6). Therefore, Judas betrayed Jesus in exchange for money and favor from the high religious leaders. Sadly, Judas did not know that Jesus' death and resurrection were the most important parts of God's redemptive plan in human history. In fact, Judas’s betrayal was even a part of God’s sovereign plan (Acts 1:16-17).
Only Matthew’s Gospel records the exact amount of money Judas accepted to betray Jesus. Thirty pieces of silver was the price of a slave (Exodus 21:32). The religious leaders had planned to wait until after the Passover to take Jesus, but with Judas's startling offer, they step up their plans.
