At the start of the Revolutionary War, the governor of New Jersey was a Tory, giving aid to the British. He was arrested by the Revolutionary Congress of New Jersey and imprisoned. His life was spared because of the reverence the colonists had for his father. He was exchanged for Americans held prisoner by the Biitish, and sailed for England to live. The Tory was William Franklin, son of Benjamin Franklin.
Benjamin Franklin was not the first to feel betrayed by someone he loved. Jesus knew the pain of betrayal. The night before His crucifixion he took His disciples into an upper room and identified His betrayer. The disciples were confused and questioned Him as to the identity of the person. Jesus revealed it to be Judas.
Afterwards Jesus said, "How the Son of Man will be given glory, and He will bring glory to God" (John 13:31). His betrayal brought glory to God.
