This is a somewhat gruesome narrative. Peter assumes the leadership role, as he had often done before. This time he was dealing with the problem that the twelve apostles had become eleven, after the death of Judas. The details are in the text and do not need further elaboration. Miserably, Judas, ruled by his love of money (John 12:6) had allowed Satan to enter him (John 13:26-27), motivating him to betray Jesus for thirty silver coins. But Satan always despises his servants, and after using him, abandoned Judas to his hopeless remorse (Matthew 27:3-10).
