Betrayal, To Betray, Denunciation

Judas goes to find the Jews to betray Jesus - James Tissot, Brooklyn Museum.

Betrayal consists in deceiving the trust of a friend, with a view to harming them or gaining a personal benefit.

In "The Gospel as Revealed to Me"

• Parallel between Cain and Judas.
• Prophetic parallel between Onias the high priest, Jason, and Menelaus, usurpers and impious and the betrayal of Judas.
• First betrayal of Judas: He denounces, within the apostolic group, the presence of "condemnable" people.
• However, I say to you: "Who has denounced, will denounce again. Who has killed will kill again." Woe to him, though. He believes he will triumph and goes to his ruin, and the judgment of God awaits him."
