Which apostle betrayed Jesus?

Which apostle betrayed Jesus?

• A. Peter
• B. Judas Iscariot
• C. John
• D. Thomas

Answer: (B)

Betrayal by one of Jesus’s closest followers is what this question is asking about. Judas Iscariot is the disciple who handed Jesus over to the authorities, agreeing to betray him for thirty pieces of silver. He identifies Jesus to the arresting crowd with a kiss in the Garden of Gethsemane, leading to Jesus’s arrest and the events that follow. This sets Judas apart from the other apostles, who remained loyal in various ways (for example, Peter later denies Jesus, not betraying him; John and Thomas are remembered for faithfulness). So Judas Iscariot is the one who betrayed Jesus.
