Judas Iscariot (; Biblical Greek: Ἰούδας Ἰσκαριώτης Ioúdas Iskariṓtēs; died c. 30 – c. 33 AD) was—according to Christianity's four canonical gospels—a first-century Jewish man who became a disciple and one of the original Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ. Judas betrayed Jesus to the Sanhedrin in the Garden of Gethsemane, in exchange for 30 pieces of silver, by kissing him on the cheek and addressing him as "master" to reveal his identity in the darkness to the crowd who had come to arrest him.
