Judas Iscariot, most famous for betraying Jesus to the Roman authorities, was one of the original twelve apostles and was the treasurer for the group. He fulfilled prophecy by betraying Christ for thirty pieces of silver. After the arrest, he was consumed with remorse and tried to return the silver, but when the high priest would not take the money back, Judas threw the money on the floor, and the priests and elders used the money to buy a potter's field, again fulfilling prophecy. He hanged himself in despair.
