                 [Jesus:] "I know you are Abraham's descendants. Yet you are
                 ready to kill me, because you have no room for my word."
                 (John, 8:37)





                         They Collaborate against and
                                   Betray Believers

                 ... He [Jesus] said, "I tell you the truth, one of you will betray
                 me—one who is eating with me."... "It is one of the Twelve," he
                 replied, "one who dips bread into the bowl with me."  (Mark,
                                                                     
                 14:18-20)


                 Then one of the Twelve—the one called Judas Iscariot—went
                 to the chief priests   and asked, "What are you willing to give
                 me if I hand him [Jesus] over to you?" So they counted out for
                                       
                 him thirty silver coins.  From then on Judas watched for an op-
                 portunity to hand him over... (Matthew, 26:14-16; Mark 14:10-
                 11)

                 While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived.
                 With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent
                                                                
                 from the chief priests and the elders of the people.  Now the be-
                 trayer had arranged a signal with them: "The one I kiss is the

                                   
                 man; arrest him."  Going at once to Jesus, Judas said, "Greet-
                 ings, Rabbi!" and kissed him... (Matthew, 26:47-49; Mark 14:43-
                 45)

                 Then satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, one of the
                 Twelve.  And Judas went... discussed with them how he might
                          
                 betray Jesus.   They were delighted and agreed to give him
