35. Another woman was living in the same place

,

whose

son

was

tormented

by

Satan

.

He

,

Judas

by

name

,

as

often

as

Satan

seized

him

,

used

to

bite

all

who

came

near

him

;

and

if

he

found

no

one

near

him

,

he

used

to

bite

his

own

hands

and

other

limbs

.

The

mother

of

this

wretched

creature

,

then

,

hearing

the

fame

of

the

Lady

Mary

and

her

son

Jesus

,

rose

up

and

brought

her

son

Judas

with

her

to

the

Lady

Mary

.

In

the

meantime

,

James

and

Joses

had

taken

the

child

the

Lord

Jesus

with

them

to

play

with

the

other

children

;

and

they

had

gone

out

of

the

house

and

sat

down

,

and

the

Lord

Jesus

with

them

.

And

the

demoniac

Judas

came

up

,

and

sat

down

at

Jesus

’

right

hand

:

then

,

being

attacked

by

Satan

in

the

same

manner

as

usual

,

he

wished

to

bite

the

Lord

Jesus

,

but

was

not

able

;

nevertheless

he

struck

Jesus

on

the

right

side

,

whereupon

He

began

to

weep

.

And

immediately

Satan

went

forth

out

of

that

boy

,

fleeing

like

a

mad

dog

.

And

this

boy

who

struck

Jesus

,

and

out

of

whom

Satan

went

forth

in

the

shape

of

a

dog

,

was

Judas

Iscariot

,

who

betrayed

Him

to

the

Jews

;

and

that

same

side

on

which

Judas

struck

Him

,

the

Jews

transfixed

with

a

lance

.
