GREEDY JUDAS

Towards the end of the ministry of Jesus, His sermons were not so much friendly but rebukeful and instructive (Matthew 23-25). I guess people were no longer giving (offerings) to His ministry like before, and by that Judas the treasurer (see John 13:29) no longer had enough money to keep both for the ministry and to himself. Meanwhile, this treasurer needed money to complete the payment of his land and start building on it ASAP, because  he was not sure whether following Jesus, who was about to be crucified, would profit him anything  (Matthew 26:2). To worsen the case for Judas the treasurer, Jesus supported the woman who was alleged wasteful by His disciples (see Matthew 26:6-13, Mark 14:3, John 12:1-8), instead of Him telling the woman to sell the oil and bring the money.  Judas had no choice but to activate Plan B since Plan A seems to be running out. Wondering what Plans A and B were?  Plan A - Judas used to help himself to what was put into the money bag, he was a thief
