¹⁶ And Judas, the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, he who was false to him.

²² Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, How is it that you will let yourself be seen clearly by us and not by the world?

³ Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew, the tax-farmer; James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;

¹⁴ Then one of the twelve, who was named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said,

¹⁵ What will you give me, if I give him up to you? And the price was fixed at thirty bits of silver.

¹⁹ And this came to the knowledge of all those who were living in Jerusalem, so that the field was named in their language, Akel-dama, or, The field of blood.)
