Gustave Doré's depiction of the
kiss given by Judas Iscariot to
Jesus, identifying him as the one whom the soldiers of the
high priestCaiaphas are to
arrest. The
Gospels state that Jesus foresaw and allowed the betrayal because it would allow
God's plan to be fulfilled, but most
Christians still consider Judas a traitor. Following this event, Caiaphas condemned Jesus for
blasphemy, and the
Sanhedrin trial concurred with a sentence of death. Jesus was handed over to the Roman governor
Pontius Pilate for execution, who carried out the sentence against his own wishes.Restoration:
