Betrayal

Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went to the chief priests and asked, “What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you?” They agreed on thirty pieces of silver, and from then on he looked for a quiet moment to hand Jesus over (Matthew 26). In the garden he walked up to Jesus and kissed him, the sign for the crowd behind him. Jesus answered, “Friend, wherefore art thou come?” and in Luke, “Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?” Doeg the Edomite, who told Saul where David had gone, shows that the pain of betrayal runs older than the Gospels.
