Holy Wednesday

In some churches, Holy Wednesday is known as Spy Wednesday and commemorates Judas Iscariot's deal with the Sanhedrin. Although his image throughout the centuries has been one of betrayer, he was also repentant...




Matthew 27:1-5
1: When morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death;
2: and they bound him and led him away and delivered him to Pilate the governor.
3: When Judas, his betrayer, saw that he was condemned, he repented and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and the elders,
4: saying, "I have sinned in betraying innocent blood." They said, "What is that to us? See to it yourself."
5: And throwing down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed; and he went and hanged himself.
