The Apostles, Op. 49, Pt. 2: IV. The Betrayal, "Then Gathered the Chief Priests and Pharisees"

Chorus (Men):

Then gathered the chief Priests and Pharisees a council, and said:

'What do we? For this Man doeth many miracles.'

So from that day forth they took counsel that they might put Him to death.

Then entered Satan into Judas, and he went his way, and communed with the chief Priests and Captains.

Judas:

What are ye willing to give me, and I will deliver Him unto you?

Chorus (Men):

And they weighed unto him thirty pieces of silver.

Judas then, having received a band of men and officers, cometh with lanterns and torches and weapons.

Judas:

Let Him make speed, and hasten His work, that we may see it He shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule upon His throne, the great King, the Lord of the whole earth.

Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is He: hold Him fast.
