Jesus knew from the very beginning that Judas would betray him (John 6:54; 13:10-11). He knew about Judas' sticky fingers (John 12:4-6). He knew Judas' heart (John 2:23-25). Now that which had been hidden from the circle of friends was about to become known to the world (Mark 4:22).
Judas was betraying not only Jesus and his friends, he was betraying himself. His name would forever be associated with dishonesty, disloyalty and death.
Every sin is eventually exposed either to the light of God's mercy and grace or to the world.
