Mark 14:17-21, “And when it was evening, he came with the twelve. And as they were reclining at table and eating, Jesus said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me, one who is eating with me.” They began to be sorrowful and to say to him one after another, “Is it I?” He said to them, “It is one of the twelve, one who is dipping bread into the dish with me. For the Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.”
Jesus may have been handed over to the Jewish authorities by Judas, but was Judas the only disciple who betrayed the Lord? We explore this question not only as it relates to the disciples who were with Jesus in the hours leading up to his crucifixion, but also today as it pertains to those of us who call ourselves Christians.
