Compunction
Compunction is a feeling of uneasiness or anxiety of the conscience caused by regret for doing wrong or causing pain; contrition; remorse.
Matthew is the only gospel that records Judas' compunction after his betrayal of Jesus. (Matthew 27:3)
Then when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He had been condemned, he felt remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, (Matthew 27:3, NASB)
Note: This painting is The Remorse of Judas by Edward Armitage (1817-1996).
