They paid Him 30 pieces of silver
Manila Bulletin
|April 16, 2025
Today’s Gospel narrates that Judas Iscariot goes to the chief priests to betray Jesus.
-
He asks them money in exchange for his betrayal of Jesus. Judas wants to have more. Evil catches us when we are not contented with what we have. Not to be contented with whatever is given us makes us envious of others for the blessings they receive.
Envy, in turn, begets betrayal. Betrayal may happen even among the closest of people. Betrayal is one of the human experiences that may inflict the deepest of wounds to any person. Judas’ betrayal of Jesus must have been rooted from Judas’ envious heart.
Moreover, envy does not only destroy interpersonal relationships but also has an encompassing adverse effect to communities. Nonetheless, even if betrayal resulting from envy happens, healing is always possible.
