Betrayal Betrayer Betraying Betrays Conspiracy Judas Iscariot Pieces Plot Silver Thirty Treachery
EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled ""They covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver", St Matthew, xxvi, 15" depicts a pivotal moment in biblical history. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print showcases the infamous betrayal of Jesus Christ by Judas Iscariot. The scene captures the essence of treachery and conspiracy as Judas strikes a deal with the religious authorities to betray his teacher and friend. The image beautifully portrays the tension and conflict within Judas himself as he exchanges thirty pieces of silver for his act of betrayal. The symbolism behind this engraving is profound. It serves as a reminder that even those closest to us can succumb to temptation and turn against us. The intricate details in this artwork bring forth emotions such as sadness, disappointment, and disbelief at witnessing such an act unfold. This print not only highlights one of the most significant events in Christian history but also invites viewers to reflect on their own actions and choices. It prompts contemplation about loyalty, trustworthiness, and moral values. As we gaze upon this digitally cleaned image from "The Sunday Scrap Book" we are reminded that throughout time, acts of betrayal have been met with consequences both immediate and everlasting. This engraving stands as a testament to human nature's capacity for deceit while urging us all to strive towards righteousness instead.
