Human betrayal cannot overturn God’s plan of salvation.

Mark 14:10–11 (WEB)

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

11 They, when they heard it, were glad, and promised to give him money. He sought how he might conveniently deliver him.

Central Idea

Human betrayal cannot overturn God’s plan of salvation.

Authorial Intent

To reveal Judas’ betrayal as both sinful treachery and part of God’s sovereign redemptive plan.

Chapter: Mark 14

The Son of Man Handed Over: Anointing, Supper, Gethsemane, Betrayal, Trial, and Denial

Jesus willingly enters betrayal, abandonment, anguish, false trial, and condemnation as the Scripture-fulfilling Son of Man whose body and blood establish the covenant for many, while human hearts are exposed through devotion, treachery, weakness, denial, and unbelief.
