Whatever his motives, Judas led soldiers to the Garden of Gethsemane, where he identified Jesus by kissing him and calling him “Rabbi.” (Mark 14:44-46) According to the Gospel of Matthew, Judas immediately regretted his actions and returned the 30 pieces of silver to church authorities, saying “I have sinned by betraying innocent blood.” When the authorities dismissed him, Judas left the coins on the floor and committed suicide by hanging himself (Matthew 27:3-8).

With the arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus was brought before the high priest Caiaphas, condemned by the Jewish Sanhedrin for claims of divinity (Mark 14: 62) and early on Friday morning sent before Pilate, the Roman governor of Jerusalem. In order that the sentence of death might be legally confirmed, which led to the requisite punishment of flagellation and further humiliation, Pilate had Jesus released to the Jews, by whose compliance Jesus was crucified.

It was Judas’s betrayal in Gethsemane that led to Jesus’s arrest, trial and death, after which he was resurrected, a sequence of events that—according to Christians—brought salvation to humanity. The name “Judas” is now synonymous with treachery in many languages, and Judas is portrayed in Western art and literature as the archetypal traitor and false friend. Dante’s "Inferno" famously doomed Judas to the lowest circle in Hell, while painters liked Giotto and Caravaggio, among others, immortalized the traitorous “Judas kiss” in their works.
