betrayal of Judas
Kiss that condemned
The betrayal of Judas refers to Judas Iscariot's act of identifying Jesus to Roman authorities with a kiss, leading to Jesus's arrest and crucifixion.
The phrase has become a byword for treachery by someone trusted—especially betrayal for money, since Judas received thirty pieces of silver.
His disloyalty was a betrayal of Judas proportions.
