Genesis 37:18-20 (KJV)
18[And when they saw him afar off, even before he came near unto them, they conspired against him to slay him.] 19[And they said one to another, Behold, this dreamer cometh.] 20[Come now therefore, and let us slay him, and cast him into some pit, and we will say, Some evil beast hath devoured him: and we shall see what will become of his dreams.]
In this portion of scripture we find find Joseph the son of Jacob who was the one renamed Isreal. The nation of Isreal which was Josephs father and brothers. Joseph had been given dreams from God as to what the truth was about all of them and the nation as a whole, when Joseph shared this truth the nation of Isreal, Josephs brothers refused to believe him and conspired to kill him.

59Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
In the life of Jesus we find nothing new from the rest of the scriptures we see a man betrayed by his brethren, yes and in fact by his nation, his country, simply for the message he brought to his people from God.
