You must not go around spreading false stories against other people. Don’t do anything that would put your neighbor’s life in danger. I am the Lord!
Judas said, “I will give you Jesus. What will you pay me for doing this?” The priests gave Judas 30 silver coins.
(Judas was paid money for doing this. His money was used to buy him a field. But Judas fell on his head, and his body broke open. All his intestines poured out.
Why? Because the Lord is your God. He is the God of gods and the Lord of lords. He is the great God. He is the amazing and powerful fighter. To the Lord every person is the same. The Lord does not accept money to change his mind.
