Bargain of Judas

gospel · 30

On the Wednesday of Holy Week, by the received reckoning, one of the Twelve went to the chief priests and asked what they would give him to deliver Jesus over, and they weighed out thirty pieces of silver. The tradition keeps the day as a fast. Wikidata carries the scene with a nonsense date of AD 100; the curated year restores it to the week it belongs to.

The Bargain of Judas is a biblical episode related to the life of Jesus which is recorded in all three Synoptic Gospels, Matthew 26:14–16, Mark 14:10–11 and Luke 22:1–6. It relates how Judas Iscariot made a bargain with the Jewish chief priests to betray Jesus.

Thirty pieces of silver; the betrayal has a price and a date.
