Betraying Jesus – Part 2
Luke 21:37 – 22:13 (4-13)
October 18, 2020
Well if you’ve followed along with us in Luke’s gospel
You know that last week, after two chapters explaining Jesus’ preaching, Luke has returned to his order of events.
Jesus announced
Luke 18:31-33 “Then He took the twelve aside and said to them, “Behold, we are going up to Jerusalem, and all things which are written through the prophets about the Son of Man will be accomplished. “For He will be handed over to the Gentiles, and will be mocked and mistreated and spit upon, and after they have scourged Him, they will kill Him; and the third day He will rise again.”
• When then saw Him approach Jericho where He gave sight to a blind man.
• We saw Him save Zaccheus and stay at his house.
• Then He traveled to Bethany where sat on a donkey’s colt and fulfilled the prophecy of Zechariah that the King could come in such a way.
• And Jesus paraded into Jerusalem at the Triumphal Entry.
• He would then enter the temple and clear it.
• He then commandeered the temple to preach His own gospel there.
What we said was that Jesus was securing a crucifixion.
He had entered that city to die there.
At the end of Luke 19 we saw a frustrating tension that had emerged.
Luke 19:47-48 “And He was teaching daily in the temple; but the chief priests and the scribes and the leading men among the people were trying to destroy Him, and they could not find anything that they might do, for all the people were hanging on to every word He said.”
• Jesus was teaching…
• The people were mesmerized…
• The chief priests wanted to kill Him…
• But they were powerless to do so because of the people…
From there Luke took 2 chapters to explain what Jesus was preaching.
And to show us the disdain that the religious elite had for Jesus
And the disdain that Jesus had for them.
But having concluded that section,
Luke has now returned to the chronological flow.
(21:37-2) “Now during the day He was teaching in the temple, but at evening He would go out and spend the night on the mount that is called Olivet. And all the people would get up early in the morning to come to Him in the temple to listen to Him. 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.”
We are now right back to where we were at the end of chapter 19.
• Jesus is in Jerusalem.
• He is teaching the people.
• They are mesmerized.
• The chief priests want to kill Him.
• But they are powerless to do so because of the people.
It all reiterates that Jesus ISN’T going to die because they
Overpowered Him or Outsmarted Him or even Legally Condemned Him.
Jesus is going to die because of His own sovereign plan,
He will lay down His life for sinners.
John 10:18 “No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father.”
So while the religious leaders are at A TOTAL LOSS as to how they might kill Jesus, God already has a plan of exactly how it will be done.
And the plan is that Jesus will be BETRAYED
It was prophesied in Psalms 55
Psalms 55:12-14 “For it is not an enemy who reproaches me, Then I could bear it; Nor is it one who hates me who has exalted himself against me, Then I could hide myself from him. But it is you, a man my equal, My companion and my familiar friend; We who had sweet fellowship together Walked in the house of God in the throng.”
It was prophesied in Psalms 41
Psalms 41:9 “Even my close friend in whom I trusted, Who ate my bread, Has lifted up his heel against me.”
And it was prophesied in Zechariah 11
Where we even saw the price of the betrayal as thirty pieces of silver.
And we asked the question: WHY DID HE HAVE TO BE BETRAYED?
There are many prophecies about the Christ in the O.T.
• Virgin Birth
• Bethlehem Birth
• Donkey’s Colt
• Crucifixion
• Resurrection
And on one hand they are all important for the simple reason that
Their fulfillment assures us that Jesus is the prophesied Christ.
But they are important for more reasons than just as proofs or indicators.
• Virgin Birth – Son of God
• Bethlehem – City of David & Humble origin
• Donkey’s Colt – the coming King
• Crucifixion- to pay for sinners
• Resurrection – to vindicate holiness
They certainly all provide prophetic proof,
But they weren’t just random events God ordained to help us spot the Christ. They all had a purpose for why God ordained them.
SO WHY A BETRAYAL?
• Why not just let Him get captured, handed over to Rome and crucified?
• Why was a betrayal part of the divine plan?
The reason is because this betrayal was a small picture of a greater reality
AND PART OF GOD’S REDEMPTIVE PLAN FOR THE GENTILES
Jesus would not be captured by His enemies,
Jesus would be rejected by those He came to save (Jews).
John 1:9-13 “There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.”
This is where the betrayal becomes significant.
We are familiar with the sovereign plan of God regarding
Not only the salvation of Israel, BUT ALSO the salvation of the Gentiles.
Isaiah 49:6 “He says, “It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant To raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the preserved ones of Israel; I will also make You a light of the nations So that My salvation may reach to the end of the earth.”
• It was never the plan of God that Jesus would save only Jews.
• He was “the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.”
But why was it that the gospel was taken to Gentiles?
It was because the Jews rejected it.
Romans 11:19-20 “You will say then, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.” Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you stand by your faith. Do not be conceited, but fear;”
Because of Jewish unbelief (even betrayal),
They were broken off, and Gentiles were grafted in.
You see this reality continually in Paul’s ministry.
His death couldn’t just be the result of an uprising of His enemies,
Jesus had to be totally rejected by those He came to save.
Jesus had to be betrayed.
It had to be treason, treachery, and a rejection of God’s own Son.
AND LISTEN, ALL OF ISRAEL DID THAT.
Israel as a nation betrayed Him.
Israel as a nation rejected Him.
Judas is merely a picture of the nation as a whole.
He is a picture of one who Jesus CALLED, who HEARD the preaching, who SAW the miracles, and who BETRAYED and rejected Him anyway.
What Judas does on Thursday, all of Israel will do on Friday.
And this betrayal will open the door for Gentiles to be saved.
This betrayal will ALSO BE THE REASON that God will raise up for them a foolish shepherd (the Anti-Christ) to afflict them.
We looked at Zechariah 11 last week where they betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver.
But if you read on, their betrayal brings a consequence.
Zechariah 11:15-17 “The LORD said to me, “Take again for yourself the equipment of a foolish shepherd. “For behold, I am going to raise up a shepherd in the land who will not care for the perishing, seek the scattered, heal the broken, or sustain the one standing, but will devour the flesh of the fat sheep and tear off their hoofs. “Woe to the worthless shepherd Who leaves the flock! A sword will be on his arm And on his right eye! His arm will be totally withered And his right eye will be blind.”
Because of Israel’s rejection of Jesus,
They receive a foolish shepherd who will afflict them during the tribulation
Until they finally turn and look on Him whom they have pierced
And are saved.
THIS IS ALL PART OF THE DIVINE PLAN
The betrayal is an integral part of God’s redemptive story.
And Judas is the embodiment of that betrayal.
So, as we said, understanding Judas is very important.
• He gives us great insight into those who are religious, but lost.
• He also gives us great insight into how God fulfills His sovereign plan through wicked men.
Understanding Judas is very important.
And that is what we began to do last week.
SO,
1. We are now back in the chronological flow.
2. We understand Jesus came to die.
3. He came to die through betrayal of the nation He came to save.
4. So that they would be temporarily broken off
5. So that Gentiles might hear the gospel
6. And Judas is the picture of that betrayal
And we are learning about Judas and why he betrayed Christ.
We saw the first point about him last week.
#1 THE CAUSE
Luke 22:3a
“And Satan entered Judas who was called Iscariot,”
I told you that in recent years Judas has started to receive sympathy among liberal theologians.
• There is the heretical “Gospel of Judas” which says he did what he did at the request of Jesus.
• There are people who now preach that he was saved in the end, primarily because he felt remorse and gave the money back.
• There are those who simply say that a loving Jesus would have saved Judas anyway.
NONE OF THOSE THINGS ARE TRUE.
Luke was very clear why Judas did what he did.
• He was not a victim
• He was not a pawn
• He was not merely misguided
• HE WAS LOST.
Like all lost people, he was a child of Satan and therefore a slave of Satan,
And therefore he did whatever Satan wanted him to do.
Judas WASN’T a saved man who fell victim to the scheme of the enemy.
• We saw that Jesus called Judas a devil back in John 6.
• We saw in John 12 that Judas was planning a betrayal before they ever even
entered Jerusalem or before Satan entered him.
• We saw that Judas was a thief even before he was a traitor.
Satan didn’t make Judas do anything he didn’t already want to do.
The will of Judas was captive to Satan as is true of all lost men.
And Judas merely became the chess piece Satan chose to use.
HE BETRAYED JESUS BECAUSE HE WAS LOST.
And it is a sobering reminder to all who PRETEND ALLEGIANCE to Jesus,
Who conspicuously hide amongst the redeemed,
That though the church may not easily identify you, Christ does.
It is NOT ENOUGH to associate with Jesus,
You MUST deny yourself and trust in Him.
“Hanging out with Jesus for 3 years did not save Judas,
And associating with the church will not save you.”
Judas is a tragic warning that even the religious
Can still be slaves and children of Satan strategically placed to do his will.
We saw that last week.
#2 HIS CRIME
Luke 22:3b-4a
“belonging to the number of the twelve. And he went away…”
When we think of the crime of Judas we think of the actual betrayal.
But before there was betrayal there was apostasy.
JUDAS LEFT.
1 John 2:18-19 “Children, it is the last hour; and just as you heard that antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have appeared; from this we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not really of us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us; but they went out, so that it would be shown that they all are not of us.”
That is exactly what Judas did.
• In Acts 1:25 Peter told the 120 that Judas “turned aside” from “this ministry and apostleship…to go to his own place.”
Judas was an apostate.
• For a time he was an incognito slave of Satan masquerading as a disciple.
• For a time he was an imperceptible imposter among the 12.
• But when the time came, he showed his true colors as an apostate.
Do you want to know how legitimate Judas appeared?
Look at the moment when Jesus exposed him as the traitor.
John 13:21-24 “When Jesus had said this, He became troubled in spirit, and testified and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you will betray Me.” The disciples began looking at one another, at a loss to know of which one He was speaking. There was reclining on Jesus’ bosom one of His disciples, whom Jesus loved. So Simon Peter gestured to him, and said to him, “Tell us who it is of whom He is speaking.”
When Jesus announced that one of them would betray Him
Notice that NO ONE suspected Judas.
They didn’t say, “We knew it! Judas, we knew something wasn’t right about you.”
John 13:25-30 “He, leaning back thus on Jesus’ bosom, said to Him, “Lord, who is it?” Jesus then answered, “That is the one for whom I shall dip the morsel and give it to him.” So when He had dipped the morsel, He took and gave it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot. After the morsel, Satan then entered into him. Therefore Jesus said to him, “What you do, do quickly.” Now no one of those reclining at the table knew for what purpose He had said this to him. For some were supposing, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus was saying to him, “Buy the things we have need of for the feast”; or else, that he should give something to the poor. So after receiving the morsel he went out immediately; and it was night.”
No sooner did Jesus unmask Judas and send him out,
Than did the disciples fail to get it.
They just thought he was going to buy some groceries.
He blended didn’t he?
They had been on missionary trips with him.
Remember, Jesus earlier on had sent them out IN TWO’S.
We don’t know which disciple was paired with Judas on those journeys, but it’s obvious even that disciple didn’t see anything alarming.
• That means Judas preached
• That means Judas cast out demons
• That means Judas worked miracles
• They all were doing those things
He was an apostate imposter just waiting for his opportunity.
AND SCRIPTURE WARNS OF THESE PEOPLE.
Jude 4 “For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.”
Later Jude will describe them.
Jude 11-13 “Woe to them! For they have gone the way of Cain, and for pay they have rushed headlong into the error of Balaam, and perished in the rebellion of Korah. These are the men who are hidden reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you without fear, caring for themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, doubly dead, uprooted; wild waves of the sea, casting up their own shame like foam; wandering stars, for whom the black darkness has been reserved forever.”
Does that sound like Judas?
2 Peter 2:17-22 “These are springs without water and mists driven by a storm, for whom the black darkness has been reserved. For speaking out arrogant words of vanity they entice by fleshly desires, by sensuality, those who barely escape from the ones who live in error, promising them freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by what a man is overcome, by this he is enslaved. For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and are overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first. For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn away from the holy commandment handed on to them. It has happened to them according to the true proverb, “A DOG RETURNS TO ITS OWN VOMIT,” and, “A sow, after washing, returns to wallowing in the mire.”
There is another fitting description.
• A man preaching freedom through Jesus while enslaved by the devil.
• A man who temporarily escaped the world to follow Jesus.
• But a man who like a dog returned to his vomit.
These are apostates and the Bible repeatedly warns of them in the church
I think John MacArthur gave the most fitting description of them
When he called them “Spiritual Terrorists”.
Like a modern day suicide bomber.
They dress like us, they act like us, they blend in with us,
Until the day they unleash their true colors and bring destruction on the church.
THE CHURCH AT PERGAMUM was rebuked by Jesus because they had apostates among them and they did nothing about it.
Revelation 2:14-16 “But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who kept teaching Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit acts of immorality. So you also have some who in the same way hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans. Therefore repent; or else I am coming to you quickly, and I will make war against them with the sword of My mouth.”
• Judas influenced the other disciples to complain about Mary’s act of worship when she poured the perfume on Jesus.
• These at Pergamum were also spreading their evil influence to participate in idolatry and sexual immorality.
• Jesus said, you had better do something about it or I will.
THE CHURCH AT THYATIRA was a church further down the road that revealed the devastating effects of what apostates could do to the church..
Revelation 2:20 “But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.”
APOSTATES ARE DANGEROUS.
• And they are not there by accident.
• They are servants of Satan, planted in the fellowship, for the purpose of
defiling and destroying the body from within.
Their crime is that they confess for a while
But eventually show their true colors by denying their Lord and Master
And bringing as many casualties as they can with them.
That is why things like CHURCH DISCIPLINE are so important.
But perhaps this helps you understand Judas.
• He WASN’T some good ole boy who just got confused for a little while.
• Judas WAS a child and slave of Satan, purposely planted among the 12 so that he might deny and betray the Son of God.
THAT WAS HIS CRIME.
His Cause, His Crime
#3 HIS CONSPIRACY
Luke 22:4b-6a
“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…”
We point out again what a shocking opportunity
This must have seemed like the chief priests.
For the life of them, they couldn’t figure out how to catch Jesus,
And now HERE COMES JUDAS.
• They didn’t have to approach him…
• They didn’t have to threaten him…
• They didn’t have to torture him…
He just showed up and volunteered and agreed to do it for money.
IT WAS ALL HIS IDEA.
And we also pointed out that the thirty pieces of silver was a pathetic price.
JUDAS WOULD HAVE DONE IT FOR NOTHING.
He hated Christ.
Because he was a child and slave of Satan.
He looked for the opportunity to fulfill the passions of his own evil heart.
And so it is fitting here to ANSWER THE QUESTION
As it relates to GOD’S SOVEREIGNTY ON THIS ISSUE.
There have been many over the years who have tried to pin this back on God.
That God was somehow unjust in punishing Judas,
Since after all God ordained that the Son of Man would be betrayed.
And they would blasphemously ask, “How can you ordain for Jesus to be betrayed, and then punish the one who does what You ordained?”
So let’s examine for a moment this question.
There are actually TWO CHARACTERS in the Bible who fit this dilemma.
One is JUDAS, the other is PHARAOH.
• God, in a sense, needed both of them.
• God, in a sense, ordained both of them.
Remember Pharaoh?
• God used his stubbornness,
• And even hardened his heart for a time to make him stubborn,
• As a means of being able to demonstrate His great wrath and power through the plagues.
Romans 9:17 “For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “FOR THIS VERY PURPOSE I RAISED YOU UP, TO DEMONSTRATE MY POWER IN YOU, AND THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE PROCLAIMED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH.”
If Pharaoh isn’t stubborn…
If Pharaoh consents to release the people…
Then we never get see God’s power in the plagues.
We never get to witness the first Passover.
We never get the story of the parting of the Red Sea.
Pharaoh’s rebellion was ordained by God
As the means through which God demonstrate His power
And glorify Himself for the salvation of Israel.
Now Judas, in many ways, fits the same mold as Pharaoh.
• Without Judas, Jesus is not betrayed.
• Without Judas, the chief priests don’t catch Him.
Judas’ betrayal was ordained by God
As the means through which God would send Jesus to the cross,
Save sinners, and glorify Himself as the Savior of mankind.
And people shout, “That’s not fair!”
“Poor Judas!”
What do we do with that?
Well, I mention Pharaoh because
UNDERSTANDING PHARAOH WILL HELP YOU UNDERSTAND JUDAS.
Romans 9:17-24 “For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, “FOR THIS VERY PURPOSE I RAISED YOU UP, TO DEMONSTRATE MY POWER IN YOU, AND THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE PROCLAIMED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH.” So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires. You will say to me then, “Why does He still find fault? For who resists His will?” On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers back to God? The thing molded will not say to the molder, “Why did you make me like this,” will it? Or does not the potter have a right over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for common use? What if God, although willing to demonstrate His wrath and to make His power known, endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction? And He did so to make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory, even us, whom He also called, not from among Jews only, but also from among Gentiles.”
First of all, the Scripture says that God “raised…up” Pharaoh.
What does that mean?
It means God brought this man to power.
God took a man
• Who did not believe in Him,
• Who did not trust Him,
• Who did not love Him,
• And who did not love His people,
And yet God brought that wicked man to power.
God could have simply destroyed Pharaoh
Before he ever got a chance to afflict His people,
But God had a greater purpose in store.
God would use that wicked man, to demonstrate His saving power.
God “endured with much patience” that “vessel of wrath prepared for destruction” So that He might “make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy.”
In other words, God tolerated that wicked man and let him stay alive, even bringing him to power for the purpose of showing the redeemed His glory.
And incidentally, Paul warned all of us about arguing about it.
“Who are you, O man, who answers back to God?”
And if you’ll realize it, Jesus did the same with Judas.
• He took a wicked man, a child of Satan, a slave of sin,
• But instead of destroying him, Jesus chose him to be one of the twelve,
• And endured him with great patience
• So that He might use him for a great purpose.
But even in that, there are
TWO THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT BOTH JUDAS AND PHARAOH.
1. Neither of them did anything they didn’t want to do.
2. Both of them had more than enough evidence to convince them to
do otherwise.
Isn’t that true?
• God didn’t make Pharaoh hate His people, Pharaoh did that on his own.
• God didn’t make Judas hate Christ, Judas did that on his own.
• God showed Pharaoh more miracles than anyone on earth had ever seen up to that point, and still Pharaoh ignored them.
• Jesus showed Judas more miracles than anyone on earth has ever seen since, and still Judas ignored them.
Their conspiracy was used by God for His glorious purpose,
BUT IT WAS STILL THEIR CONSPIRACY.
Judas did what he clearly wanted to do
With absolutely no pressure from anyone other than his master Satan.
His Cause, His Crime, His Conspiracy
#4 HIS COMPLICITY
Luke 22:6b
“and began seeking a good opportunity to betray Him to them apart from the crowd.”
You see the plan.
• Judas is going to give up the itinerary of Jesus.
• Judas is going to give the map of the motorcade so to speak
• Judas is going to tell these men where they can catch Jesus and do away with Him without having to worry about the crowd revolting.
Now, by the way, that is what makes the next verses so interesting.
(READ 7-13)
You may have wondered why Jesus instituted such a bizarre and even mystical way of selecting the Upper Room.
• It was to keep Judas in the dark.
• No one, not even Judas, knew where the room was.
The reason?
Jesus wasn’t going to let Himself be arrested until after He took the Passover with His disciples.
He’s in total control isn’t He?
He won’t be arrested until He lets Judas leave
And until He goes to the well-known garden.
Don’t fail to see who is in control and sovereign in this.
But THE FINAL POINT we are making here is that
JUDAS WAS TOTALLY COMPLICIT IN ALL THAT OCCURRED.
Judas followed through.
John 18:1-3 “When Jesus had spoken these words, He went forth with His disciples over the ravine of the Kidron, where there was a garden, in which He entered with His disciples. Now Judas also, who was betraying Him, knew the place, for Jesus had often met there with His disciples. Judas then, having received the Roman cohort and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.”
How much did he hate Jesus?
And you should know that JUDAS HATED JESUS
For the same reason all lost people hate Jesus.
John 3:19-20 “This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. “For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.”
And in this sense, though the crime of Judas is heinous,
IT IS NOT UNIQUE.
There have been thousands upon thousands of Judas’ sense that day.
Hebrews 6:4-6 “For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame.”
Those are people, who like Judas get every opportunity to believe.
• They get “enlightened”
• They get “a taste of the heavenly gift”
• They get to be a partial “partaker of the Holy Spirit”
• They get “a taste of the good word of God”
• They get “a taste…of the power of the age to come”
But still they fall away and choose to
“crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame.”
Every conceivable benefit.
Like Pharaoh
Like Judas
Like Israel.
Romans 9:4-5 “who are Israelites, to whom belongs the adoption as sons, and the glory and the covenants and the giving of the Law and the temple service and the promises, whose are the fathers, and from whom is the Christ according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.”
But it’s not enough.
And in the end they reveal what JESUS KNEW ALL ALONG.
Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. “Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ “And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.’”
For those people, like Judas,
It would be better that they had never been born.
CHURCH THE WARNING IS SO INTENSE.
• Don’t be an imposter.
• Don’t just be a casual associate of the church.
• Don’t be a phony follower of Jesus.
Repent of your sin, beg Christ for forgiveness,
Trust in His righteousness and in His sufficient sacrifice,
And fully yield your life to Him.
There have always been imposters.
There have always been apostates.
But don’t let them be you.
Luke 22:21-22 “But behold, the hand of the one betraying Me is with Mine on the table. “For indeed, the Son of Man is going as it has been determined; but woe to that man by whom He is betrayed!”
