When did Judas know that he was going to betray Jesus?

Answer 1

He betrayed him on the Thursday, the night of the last supper. Matthew 26:2, together with v14-15 records that, it was two days earlier, on the Tuesday, when he met with the priests who wanted to kill Jesus.

2Ye know that after two days is the feast of the passover, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified. 14Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, 15And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.

Answer:

Judas Iscariot died shorthly before Christ's crucifixion in the year 31 AD.

Answer

Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus Christ to the Pharisees, and then he hmself committed suicide soon afterwards. Although the exact date is unknown, it can be estimated from the time of Christ's death. The date Christ died was April 10th, 32AD [see Sir Robert Anderson in "The Coming Prince"]

Judas betrayed Christ for 30 pieces of silver:-

Matthew 26

v.14 Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests,

15 And said unto them, "What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you?" And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.

16 And from that time he [Judas] sought opportunity to betray him.

Judas received this betrayal money after Christ was delivered to the Pharisees, but this would have been before the rigged trials that same morning which found Christ guilty and sentenced Him to death.

Matthew 27:

1 When the morning was come [that is, morning of Passover] , all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:

2 And when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor.

When Judas knew that Jesus was condemmed to death he tried to return the money before Christ was crucified, let alone died, or else the Scriptures would have said this specifically. (It would appear Judas had not thought Christ would be actually sentenced to death and tried to return the money in the vain hope of getting Christ a less-severe penalty. However, the Pharisees had what they wanted and were not going to renege on any agreement).

Matthew 27:

3 Then Judas, which had betrayeth him, when he saw that he [that is, Christ] was condemned [that is, it was the very same day], repented himself [other translations 'was remorseful' or similar], and broughtagain the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders,

4 Saying, "I have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood." And they said, "What is that to us? see thou to that".

5 And he [Judas] cast down the pieces of silver in the temple...

Even Pilate said Jesus did not warrant the death penalty:-

Luke 23

v.21 But they [the crowd] cried, saying, "Crucify him, crucify him".

22 And he [that is, Pilate] said unto them the thirdtime, "Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go".

Judas was full of remorse [NB he did not repent] for what he had caused that he went and hanged himself. This would appear to be immediately after he flung the betrayal money back at the priests.

Matthew 27:

5 And he [Judas] cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.

This would make the date Judas died was April 10th, 32AD .

Answer 3

Judas was not aware he was being used by Satan and being deceived, until after he had betrayed Christ. Jesus of course knew, but Judas did not. When he did he threw the 30 pieces of silver on the ground, but it was too late. He had betrayed the Lord. He then went out and hanged himself. See Matthew 27:5.

Answer 4

It is believed that Judas made the decision to betray Jesus after meeting with the chief priests and agreeing to accept 30 pieces of silver as payment for his actions. This occurred shortly before the Last Supper.

Answer 5

Judas betrayed Him once. If you read the story, you would know!

Answer 6

No. He only betrayed Jesus one time.
