The Conspiracy

To

Arrest Jesus Christ

Judas Accepts To Betray Jesus Christ

Now, in Jerusalem the priests and Pharisees were busy with their plans to seize the Lord and take his life. The high priest called a counsel of all the wisest men and said, “This deed must be accomplished in a secret way. He must be taken when the multitudes are not near, else we may cause a war; the common people may stand forth in His defence and thus pollute this sacred place with human blood. And what we do, that we must do before the great day of the feast.”

And Ananias said, “I have a plan that will succeed. The twelve with Jesus every day go forth alone to pray; And we will find their resting place; then we can seize the man and bring him here without the knowledge of the multitudes.
I know one of the twelve, a man who worships wealth, and for a sum I think that he will lead the way to where the man usually prays.”

And then Caiaphas said, “If you will lead the way and bribe the man of whom you speak, to aid in seizing Jesus in a secret place, then we will give to you a hundred silver pieces for your hire.”
And Ananias said, “It is well.”

And then he went to Bethany and found the twelve at Simon's house and, calling Judas to the side he said, “If you would care to make a sum of money for yourself hear me: The high priest and other rulers in Jerusalem would like to talk with Jesus when alone, that they may know about his claims; And if he proves himself to be the Christ, lo, they will stand in his defence. Now, if you will but lead the way to where your master is tomorrow night that they may send a priest to talk with him alone, there is a sum of silver, thirty pieces, that the priests will give to you:”

And Judas reasoned with himself; he said, “It surely may be well to give the Lord a chance to tell the priests about His claims when He is all alone. And if the priests would do Him harm, He has the power to disappear and go His way as He has done before; and thirty pieces is a goodly sum.”
And so he said to Ananias, “I will lead the way, and by a kiss make known which person is the Lord.”

The Significance Of The Thirty Pieces Of Silver

1. Jesus was Joseph in His previous lifetimes.

2. The same fate happened to Him and Joseph.

3. His previous lifetimes, as Joseph and as Samuel, were preparations for His final work as the saviour.

4. The word of God creates. The moment God speaks, the effect is complete in the spiritual realm. But, it takes the long process of evolution for the word to come into physical manifestation and fulfillment.

5. Judas was the Egyptian taskmaster killed by Moses.

6. The two names, Joseph and Jesus, should not surprise you, because in future reincarnations, people tend to repeat, recollect or add their previous names. Just as Potiphar reincarnated as Pontus Pilate.
