⁷¹ And he spake of Judas, Simon's `son', Iscariot, for he was about to deliver him up, being one of the twelve.

¹⁴ Then one of the twelve, who is called Judas Iscariot, having gone unto the chief priests, said,

¹⁵ `What are ye willing to give me, and I will deliver him up to you?' and they weighed out to him thirty silverlings,

¹⁶ and from that time he was seeking a convenient season to deliver him up.

⁴ for there did come in unobserved certain men, long ago having been written beforehand to this judgment, impious, the grace of our God perverting to lasciviousness, and our only Master, God, and Lord -- Jesus Christ -- denying,

²³ this one, by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, being given out, having taken by lawless hands, having crucified -- ye did slay;

¹⁶ `Men, brethren, it behoved this Writing that it be fulfilled that beforehand the Holy Spirit spake through the mouth of David, concerning Judas, who became guide to those who took Jesus,

¹⁷ because he was numbered among us, and did receive the share in this ministration,

¹⁸ this one, indeed, then, purchased a field out of the reward of unrighteousness, and falling headlong, burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed forth,

¹⁹ and it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem, insomuch that that place is called, in their proper dialect, Aceldama, that is, field of blood,

²⁰ for it hath been written in the book of Psalms: Let his lodging-place become desolate, and let no one be dwelling in it, and his oversight let another take.

⁴ Jesus, therefore, knowing all things that are coming upon him, having gone forth, said to them, `Whom do ye seek?'

⁵ they answered him, `Jesus the Nazarene;' Jesus saith to them, `I am `he';' -- and Judas who delivered him up was standing with them; --

⁶ when, therefore, he said to them -- `I am `he',' they went away backward, and fell to the ground.

²⁶ Jesus answereth, `That one it is to whom I, having dipped the morsel, shall give it;' and having dipped the morsel, he giveth `it' to Judas of Simon, Iscariot.

³ Then Judas -- he who delivered him up -- having seen that he was condemned, having repented, brought back the thirty silverlings to the chief priests, and to the elders, saying,

⁴ `I did sin, having delivered up innocent blood;' and they said, `What -- to us? thou shalt see!'

⁵ and having cast down the silverlings in the sanctuary, he departed, and having gone away, he did strangle himself.

⁶ Appoint Thou over him the wicked, And an adversary standeth at his right hand.

⁷ In his being judged, he goeth forth wicked, And his prayer is for sin.

⁸ His days are few, his oversight another taketh,

¹³ But thou, a man -- as mine equal, My familiar friend, and mine acquaintance.

¹⁴ When together we sweeten counsel, Into the house of God we walk in company.

⁹ Even mine ally, in whom I trusted, One eating my bread, made great the heel against me,
