The gospels do not make it clear exactly who gave Judas the thirty pieces of silver to betray Jesus.

The closest we get is:-

Then went one of the twelve, who was called Judas Iscariot, to the chief priests, and said to them: What will you give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they weighed unto him thirty pieces of silver. (Matthew 26:14-5)

Which implies that it was the priests of the temple collectively that gave Judas this money.

Where does it say that Judas stole from the money bag?

AnswerJohn 12:6 (KJV): "This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein." ("He" in this sentence is referring to Judas; a woman had just broken an expensive jar of perfume over Jesus' feet, and Judas complained that it would have been better to sell the perfume and give the money to the poor.)However, this was not written when it happened but many years later, and it's at least possible that John's opinion of Judas had been colored somewhat by subsequent events; there are no other scriptures mentioning that anyone was particularly concerned about Judas being the treasurer of the group at the time. Later, at the Last Supper, Jesus tells Judas to go and do something without specifically stating what it is; the apostles assume that Jesus is sending him out to buy something or possibly to give money to the poor based on the fact that Judas is still treasurer even then.


What is the biography of Judas Iscariot?

Nothing certain is known about Judas Iscariot other than what is in the New Testament. The gospels say that he was chosen to be a disciple of Jesus. The Gospel of John says that he was given the bag containing the communal money. Then all the gospels agree that he went to the priests to betray Jesus in return for money. The betrayal took place in the Garden of Gethsemane. Matthewsays that Judas repented and returned the money to the priests and then went away and hanged himself. Acts says that Judas bought land with the money, but fell down headlong and died.An extra-biblical suggestion is that Judas Iscariot was a literary invention. First century Jews did not normally have surnames at all, making "Judas Iscariot" an unlikely name for a real Jew. But the name Judas is synonymous with Jews, while the name Iscariot could be a derivation of the Latin word Sicarius, which means 'assassin': so Judas Iscariot can be read as "Jewish assassin", just what he did become.
