While Jesus was still talking, a crowd showed up with Judas leading the way — yeah, Judas, one of his own twelve disciples. He walked right up to Jesus like he was going to give him a kiss.

But some of you still don't believe. Jesus knew from day one exactly who wouldn't believe and who would end up betraying him.

While I was here with them, I protected them in your name. Everyone you gave me, I kept safe — except for the one who was always going to betray me, just like the scriptures said would happen.
