Why Judas, Iscariot, betrayed Jesus Christ, our Lord?
The references for us will be:
1. John 8:44 where is written:
"You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it".
1. John 8:44 where is written:
"You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it".
2. Matthew 27:4 where is written:
"...I have sinned by betraying innocent blood".
"...I have sinned by betraying innocent blood".
Ok! Judas doesn't love money as we thought he might done that. He had a vision beyond the money: seeing Christ Jesus king of Israel. Right? Didn't Priests and Pharisees preaching will come a Messiah to save them from Roman occupation. Yes. There is a Messiah, but not the way they missinterpret, because they didn't knew the Bible. Also Judas knew the same missinterpretation as religious liders preached.
This is kind of Jesus wanted Judas enthroned in Israel as king: making different miracles, healing blind and depth people, cancerous and tumor diseases. Resurrecting people from death etc.
So Judas gone to the priests which he thought that they will agree honestly with him about to make Jesus Christ king of Israel to free them from romans. Well the priests wanted Jesus dead. This part Judas didn't saw it to priests of Israel. They gave him 30 pieces of silver trading for Jesus's arrest.
Why Jesus Christ called Judas a devil according to John 6:70?
Let me explain you shortly. Because of his blind mind. Because of his wrong plan. He had in mind from the beginning to betray Jesus to priests considering that they will make Him King of Israel. Satan was there. He knew that Judas is weak and blind. When Jesus given him a piece of bread, Satan entered him, not because of Jesus, because of his blind mind. You know what Jesus told Judas:
"Do quickly what you have to do". Because Jesus knee that Judas will go to priests to betray Him. Judas was full of enthusiasm to betray Jesus Christ, considering that Jesus at the end will be King of Israel.

Judas was in the work and presence of Jesus Christ for three years and He couldn't see in Jesus Christ the Son of God and the Savior of the world.
Conclusion
That is horrible to be with Christ near you and not know that He can protect you from lies, demons and giving you enough strength and courage to follow Him. What ever is, focus on the person of Christ Jesus, the Son of Mighty God and ask God to know him more, not forced by fear, but by personal interest. Even is by fear is great! You know why? Because Jesus Christ said that the truth will make and set you free!
