Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve, went away to the chief priests, that he might deliver him to them.

Verse Takeaways

Proximity Isn't Salvation

Commentators emphasize the phrase "one of the Twelve" to highlight a sobering truth. Judas had the ultimate spiritual privilege of being in Jesus's inner circle, yet he still fell. This serves as a powerful reminder that simply being near Jesus or involved in religious activity is not enough for salvation; it requires a genuine, personal response of faith and love.
