Following His heartfelt prayers in Gethsemane, Jesus was betrayed by Judas Iscariot with a kiss—a signal to the soldiers who came to arrest Him. The calm yet sorrowful capture of the Savior marked the beginning of a series of events that would lead to His trial, suffering, and ultimately, His death on the cross.
This act of betrayal stands as a sobering reminder of the price of redemption and the depths of divine love in the face of human treachery.
