Judas' Deal Songtext
von Rob Gardner

Narrator: Now, when the Feast of Passover was nigh at hand,
Multitudes of the people went out of the country up to Jerusalem.
And both the chief priests and the Pharisees had given a commandment
That if any man knew where Jesus were, he should tell it
That they might take Him.

And one of the Twelve, called Judas Iscariot, came unto them.

Judas: What will you give for a king?
What will you pay for the king of the Jews?
What will you offer to have him at last in your hands?
What is he worth you?


The people begin to believe.
Take him in public and all will rebel.
But what if there′s one he call friend
Would be willing to sell?

What will you offer?

What will you pay for your king?
Or will you let him slip through your hands again?
How long have you waited
For this?

Narrator: And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver,
Which was the price fixed by law as that of a slave.
