Jesus had denounced the corruption of the priests working in the temple of Jerusalem, especially the family of the high priest Annas, at the beginning of his ministry in Nisan 30 CE. This revelation had caused a huge scandal that forced Pilate to restrict the judicial powers of the Sanhedrin. Jesus knew that the Sanhedrin would not tolerate a new questioning and he also knew that Judah Iscariot was going to betray him (Jn 13:18-19) because he was a thief (Jn 12:6) and he loved money more than the truth (Mt 6:24, 19:21), like the high priest Annas. Judas Iscariot therefore probably felt targeted by the attacks of Jesus against the merchants of the Temple and that's why he denounced him to the high priest in the hope that the latter would change Jesus' views on the issue of money. When Judas Iscariot realized that the real purpose of the chief priests was not to discipline Jesus but to put him to death, he hanged himself (Mt 27:1-5). The Sanhedrin did not want to arrest Jesus during the Passover because of a potential tumult, but the unexpected contribution of Judas must have accelerated their project
