Matthew 26:14-16, 47-68, 27:3-10 - No, no, no, you don't understand. I just wanted him taken into custody to protect him. To save the movement. It was for his own good! I didn't want ... this.

lyrics

Oh, things have not gone as we planned
To you, O’ priests, I come reluctantly
He will not free Jerusalem
If I hand him over to you will you give me

Thirty pieces of silver, in the palm of my hand
Thirty pieces of silver, to betray my friend

Here he is, in the garden with his followers
He’s the one on whom I plant a kiss
Do not give a care about the crowd
See, I told you, he would not resist

Thirty pieces of silver, in the palm of my hand
Thirty pieces of silver, to betray my friend

The priests all struck him each in turn
“Tell us, are you the Christ, the Son of God?”
And “He deserves death for such blasphemy!”
But my friend just stood there, he did not respond

Thirty pieces of silver, in the palm of my hand
Thirty pieces of silver, I betrayed my friend

Now to the Romans he’s been sent
They’ll kill him sure as I am breathing
This is not right, he’s innocent
I can’t imagine him forgiving me

Thirty pieces of silver, in the palm of my hand
Thirty pieces of silver, I betrayed my friend
Thirty pieces of silver, take them, I don’t care
Thirty pieces of silver can’t ease my despair
