After Jesus was arrested, Judas was filled with remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver he had been given for his betrayal. He then hanged himself. Judas is remembered as a traitor and a betrayer of Jesus. He is seen as a symbol of betrayal and is often used as a warning against the dangers of greed and selfishness.
