Which of the 12 diciples betrayed jesus?

Answer 1

Judas Iscariot, and Peter did also, temporarily.

Judas was the follower who betrayed his whereabouts to the Chief Priests and Temple officials, so they could arrest him in secret avoiding a riot. He did this for a bribe of 30 pieces of silver (around a month's wage in those days). After he realised what he had done he committed suicide.

Peter, however, did not betray him in the same way, but instead he denied three times that he even knew him when Jesus was arrested and Peter was quizzed by those watching what had happened. He did this to save his own skin. However, Peter repented and Jesus, after his resurrection, forgave him. Peter went on to be the leader of the disciples and a dynamic force, along with Paul, in spreading the Gospel of Jesus across the then known world.

Answer 2

In the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke), all of Jesus' disciples flee upon the arrival of the authorities (after a brief altercation). However in John's gospel, the 'beloved disciple' remains at the foot of the cross when Jesus dies. The beloved disciple is traditionally thought to be John himself. Later on, Jesus' disciples return to him upon his resurrection, minus Judas.

Answer 3

Some were instrumental in having him crucified so I suppose you could say they betrayed him. That is not to say they all did.

Answer 4

No Judas did not trust Christ, otherwise he would not betrayed Christ.

Answer 5

Judas Iscariot
