The silver Judas now throws down is the very price he had agreed to take for Jesus.
“and said, “What are you willing to give me, that I should deliver him to you?” They weighed out for him thirty pieces of silver.And said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver.”
In contrast to2 Corinthians 7:10
Paul distinguishes a sorrow that leads to repentance from the sorrow of the world that produces death, and Judas shows the second.
“For godly sorrow works repentance to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world works death.For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death.”
