Egg #2 Silver Coins

Matthew 26:14-16 (following)

Then one of the twelve, whose name was Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said, "What will you give me if I deliver Him over to you?" And they paid him thirty pieces of silver. And from that moment he sought an opportunity to betray Him [to hand Jesus over to his enemies].

Not everyone was happy to have Jesus as their king. Some people only pretended to be happy, but on the inside they really didn't want anything to do with him. One of those pretenders was a man named Judas Iscariot.

Some other men hated Jesus so much that they wanted to kill Him. But they needed the help of someone who could get them close to Jesus. Because Judas Iscariot was a pretender, and because he was greedy for money, he told these men that he would help them capture Jesus if they would pay him thirty silver coins.

Now let's open egg #2!
