We looked last time at the betrayal of Jesus through a couple of the prophetic Psalms. We looked specifically at the example in the life of David and how that gave us insight into the betrayal that Jesus would face. You may remember the key verse that Jesus Himself quoted and said must be fulfilled:
Psalm 55:13. ESV But it is you, a man, my equal, my companion, my familiar friend. CSB But it is you, a man who is my peer, my companion and good friend! NLT Instead, it is you — my equal, my companion and close friend. KJV But it was thou, a man mine equal, my guide, and mine acquaintance.
The true Christian must expect trials from professed friends, from those with whom he has been united; this will be very painful; but by looking unto Jesus we shall be enabled to bear it. Christ was betrayed by a companion, a disciple, an apostle, who resembled Ahithophel in his crimes and doom.

David and Jesus Compared. Jesus is the Son of David with some similarities, but Jesus far excells him by some differences. We can glorify Jesus by the similarities and the differences. David himself called Jesus his Lord, and he wrote that He was fairer than all men.

Most heart-breaking of all is the knowledge that the person behind this plotting is the one he thought was his closest friend (12-14). Such traitors deserve a fitting punishment (15). In his distress David turns to God and his faith awakens.
