The Holy Bible
Even Jesus knew the sting of a friend's betrayal, so He meets you in yours with real understanding, not distance. These Bible verses about betrayal hold honest pain alongside the promise that God never turns away.
“Even my close friend whom I trusted, the one who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.”
“For it is not an enemy who insults me; that I could endure. It is not a foe who rises against me; from him I could hide. But it is you, a man like myself, my companion and close friend. We shared sweet fellowship together; we walked with the crowd into the house of God.”
“But Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?””
“Though my father and mother forsake me, the LORD will receive me.”
“Do not rely on a friend; do not trust in a companion. Seal the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your arms. For a son dishonors his father, a daughter rises against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. A man’s enemies are the members of his own household. But as for me, I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.”
“But I trust in You, O LORD; I say, “You are my God.” My times are in Your hands; deliver me from my enemies and from those who pursue me.”
“Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Lord.””
“The LORD is near to the brokenhearted; He saves the contrite in spirit.”
“But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,”
