A Sinner?

This man is a sinner. Jesus came doing good, healing the sick, making the lame to walk, the deaf to hear, the blind to see, and they said he is a sinner. We must kill him. Let us lay a snare to catch Him. Judas said I will go. The man who I kiss will be Him. And they sought to betray Him--flim flam (to trick, deceive, swindle, or cheat) or bamboozle (to deceive by underhanded methods: dupe, hoodwink).

They brought to the Pharisees him that aforetime was blind. And it was the sabbath day when Jesus made the clay, and opened his eyes. Then again the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. He said unto them, He put clay upon mine eyes, and I washed, and do see. Therefore said some of the Pharisees, This man is not of God, because he keepeth not the sabbath day. Others said, How can a man that is a sinner do such miracles? And there was a division among them. (John 9)

And therefore did the Jews persecute Jesus, and sought to slay him, because he had done these things on the sabbath day. (John 5)

Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle Him in his talk. And they sent out unto Him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men. Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? (Matthew 22)

Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, they say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. (John 8)

Then cometh He to His disciples, and saith unto them, sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me. And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people. Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast. And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him. And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him. (Matthew 26)

But Master who shall this be that will betray you? Jesus answered, he it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon. Instantaneously, Judas was overtaken by his own jealousy, greed, self-hatred and hatred of others, low self-esteem and suppressed rage. The bible says that immediately Satan had entered Judas. And after the sop Satan entered into him (John 13).
