the disciple judas iscariot is worried that jesus has become too swept up in the adoration of his followers, rather than focusing on his teachings about taking care of the poor, and that his following has grown too large and outspoken, which could soon provoke the wrath of the roman empire ("heaven on their minds"). judas also object to jesus spending his time with mary magdalene ("what's the buzz / strange thing mystifying"), who advises jesus to relax ("everything's all right"). judas's fears prove justified as priests caiaphas, annas and more gather and agree that jesus and his movement must be crushed ("this jesus must die"). jesus enters jerusalem filled with exaltation ("hosanna") until he discovers that his temple has become overrun with unscrupulous merchants and money lenders. overwhelmed by a throng of people needing his assistance, he tells them to heal themselves, and his follower mary magdalene attempts to calm him. fearing that jesus' movement is getting out of control, judas goes to the priests and tells them where jesus will be the following night. the priests pay him with 30 pieces of silver. judas arrives at jesus' location with roman soldiers and identifies jesus by kissing him on the cheek. the soldiers arrest jesus and send him to caiaphas, then pontius pilate, king herod antipas, and finally back to pilate, who condemns him to death on the cross.

bullet::::- the phrase is used to accuse politicians and artists of selling out their principles or ideals, and is also used in literature as a symbol of betrayal. for example, in the aftermath of the 1975 australian constitutional crisis, a number of residents of the street in which the governor general john kerr had been born sent the governor 30 pieces of silver, as kerr was widely blamed for the crisis. another usage was at the united nations climate change conference 2009, a spokesman from tuvalu criticised the final document by saying, "it looks like we are being offered 30 pieces of silver to betray our people and our future ... our future is not for sale."
