"Betrayal is a necessary path to greatness—without it, true strength and purpose can't be found." 

Yet, the Bible reminds us in the Gospel of Matthew, chapter twenty-six, verse forty-eight: "Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: ‘The one I kiss is the man; arrest him.’" This Bible verse is about Judas, one of Jesus' friends, who decided to betray Him. Judas told the people who wanted to arrest Jesus that he would show them who Jesus was by giving Him a kiss, which was a sign of friendship, but he used it to betray Jesus.
