So he went out and agreed to betray him to the rulers for thirty pieces of silver.

He knew if he didn't do it, it might have to be Peter, James, or John, or some one the Saviour loved very dearly, because it _had_ to be one of them.

So after it was done and he knew the others were saved from this foul deed, he went back to the rulers and threw down their money, and went out and hung himself.

If he had been a bad man, it seems more like he would have spent that money in wicked indulgences, food and drink and entertainments, etc.

Of course, Judas knew he would go to hell for it, so he was not as lucky as Jesus, who knew he would go to heaven and sit at the right hand of God when he died, which was a different matter from Judas's, who would not have any reward at all but going to hell.
