The Betrayal

1Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, this baptism which they have received in my name … will destroy the whole generation of the earthly Adam. Tomorrow they will torture the one who bears me. Truly I say to you, no mortal human hand will fall on me. Truly I say to you, Judas, those who offer sacrifices to Saklas … everything that is evil. But you will do more than all of them, because you will sacrifice the human who bears me. Your horn has already been raised, your anger has been kindled, your star has ascended, and your heart has strayed. Truly I say to you, your last … and the … the thrones of the realm have been defeated, the kings have grown weak, the angelic generations have grieved, and the evil they sowed … is destroyed, and the ruler is wiped out. And then the fruit of the great generation of Adam will be exalted, because before heaven, earth, and the angels, that generation from the realms exists. Look, you have been told everything. Lift your eyes and see the cloud with the light in it and the stars around it. The star that leads the way is your star.”

2Then Judas looked up and saw the luminous cloud, and he entered it. Those standing on the ground heard a voice from the cloud saying, “ …the great generation …and …” And Judas could no longer see Jesus.

3Immediately there was a disturbance among the Jews, more than … Their high priests grumbled because he had gone into the guest room to pray. But some scribes were there, watching closely so that they could arrest him during his prayer. They were afraid of the people, since they all regarded him as a prophet.

4They approached Judas and said to him, “What are you doing here? Aren’t you Jesus’ disciple?”

5Then he answered them as they wished. Judas received some money and handed him over to them.
