Mat 26:14-16 | TNotes | STEP | Summary for Matt 26:14-16: 26:14-16 Judas sold himself to the authorities (see also John 11:57 ), concealed it (Matt 26:25 ), and then took them to Jesus at the appropriate time so they could carry out their plans (26:47-56 ; see John 18:2 ). Later, Judas was overcome by guilt and committed suicide (Matt 27:3-10 ; see Acts 1:15-22 ). Judas was apparently known for his greed (Matt 26:14-15 ; John 12:4-6 ; 13:29 ). It is also possible that he was motivated by disappointment over the nature of Jesus’ reign as Messiah, his own humiliation over the anointing of Jesus (see John 12:1-8 ), or resentment over the leadership of the Galilean apostles, Peter, James, and John. Whatever his motivation, Judas’s betrayal was a part of God’s sovereign plan (Acts 1:16-17 ).
