And Immediately following this we have while he yet spoke, lo, Judus one of the story of Judas Iscariot going to the chief priests and saying "What will ye give me, and I will deliver hire unto you?" Then and there they covenanted -with him for thirty pieces of silver, That too will go down in history as long as the world stands. What an example of devotion and love in contrast to that of treachery and betrayal we have there! We are led to believe that Judas must have been leading a life con- trary to the teaching of Jesus else he would not have been so ready to go out and sell his Master. His un- derhand dealings must -have been car- ded on secretly when the other ap- ostles had no inkling' of. his thought of betraying Jesus Outwardly he was a follower, but inwardly the words of Jesus in John 6:70, "Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?" rightly applied to him , Many in reading the stpry of Judas feel that he is: -unjustly judged, and to give credit to their olaim they bring forward the statement that Peter aso denied and betrayed his Lord after making' vehement asser- tions that. "Lord I am ready to go with thee, both into prison and' unto death;" Peter went with John to the trial of Jesus., John having some in- hesive tape for corks in many eases. the twelve dame, and with- him a great mu1ititude with swords' and We look upon the world's distress, staves from the chief priests and eld i The ocean of its tears, ers of the people , , , and forthwitli'Nor can we see whereon to rest he came to Jesus, and , said, Hail Mas - ter, and kissed ]tis. And Jesus said unto him, friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they andlaid hands on Jesus, and took him." Thus Judus Iscariot betrayed his Lord. In spite of this treachery Jesus knowing what he was about to do addressed him, as Friend, Many and varied are the opinions expressed as to the thoughts of Judus when he saw his Master being led away. Peraps chief among these is the idea that Judas had no other thought in mind than that Jesus would not allow Himself to be ar- rested; or if so that He would success- fully defend Himself and thus gain His acquital. Be that as it may—no one knows. We read that he repen- ted himself •and went to the chief priests and elders to return the pride of his betrayal saying, I have sinned in that I have betreyecl the inn'ocent blood'! On their reply„ "What is that to us, See thoa to that, , , he east down the pieces of silver in the tem ple, and departed, and went outand hanged himself.", Peter, 'went out and wept bitterly,' and, Judas "went out and hanged him- self" Peter had denied his Lord and Judas had betrayed Him.
