[FONT="]How did Judas betray Jesus? [/FONT]
7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
8 And they remembered his words,
Luke 24:7-8
[FONT="]Did Judas stumble?[/FONT]
30 He then having received the sop went immediately out: and it was night.
31 Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him.
32 If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.
John 13:30-32

Mt 27-3When Judas,who had betrayed Him, saw that Jesus was condemned, he was filled with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders.
“And I said unto them, If you think good, give me my hire; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my hire thirty pieces of silver. And Jehovah said unto me, Cast it unto the potter, the goodly price that I was prized at by them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them unto the potter, in the house of Jehovah” (Zechariah 11:12-13).
“And I said unto them, If you think good, give me my hire; and if not, forbear. So they weighed for my hire thirty pieces of silver. And Jehovah said unto me, Cast it unto the potter, the goodly price that I was prized at by them. And I took the thirty pieces of silver, and cast them unto the potter, in the house of Jehovah” (Zechariah 11:12-13).
The silver was hard evidence of his betrayal and having realized what he had done wanted more than anything to be rid of it.
As stated above, remorse.
Another point maybe, is that he realized how worthless the silver really is in comparison to that which he had thrown away.
I wonder also, how often in our own lives we betray what the LORD has done for some worthless gain.

The story of Joseph in Genesis portrays him as a type of Jesus. In the story Joseph is betrayed by his Brothers and is sold to Ishmaelite traders for twenty pieces of silver. The plan to sell him was made by Judah, who wanted to avoid his blood being on their hands. The betrayal by Judas fulfills this Prophecy and that of Zachariah. I'm not sure why the amounts differ though. Perhaps its to show how Christ is far more valuable than Joseph in terms of our salvation.

For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death
(2 Cor 7:10)
i believe what Judas experienced was worldly sorrow. he was terrified in his conscience over what he had done, but it wasn't penitent terror. you see the same thing in King Saul (you can read his story in 1 Samuel
). when confronted with his sin, Saul shifted the blame to other people, never seeking God for forgiveness in repentance.
contrast that with King David, who acknowledged his sin to the Lord and sought forgiveness. (Ps 51)
one king exhibited worldly sorrow; the other Godly sorrow.
Judas was seeking relief from his conscience, yet not forgiveness from God. hope that makes sense.
