Judas Iscariot was one of the original twelve apostles who traveled with Jesus during his three years of ministry. According to gospel accounts, Judas betrayed Jesus to the Sanhedrin in the Garden of Gethsemane by kissing him and thereby revealing his identity to a mob that came by night to arrest him. He betrayed the Lord for a paltry sum: thirty pieces of silver.
