40. "One of those who was with you was not of your mind and has betrayed you for thirty pieces of silver--namely, Judas Iscariot.”
41. Jmmanuel answered, saying, "Truly, I say to you, for a long time you may succeed in accusing Judas Iscariot as my betrayer before the people, but the truth will come out and be known by all people throughout the entire world;
42. "namely, that my betrayer is not Judas Iscariot but is your son, Juda Ihariot, who bears the name of his father, the Pharisee."
43. Simeon Ihariot, the Pharisee, was furious, stepped up and struck Jmmanuel in the face with his fist because he was afraid of his true words.
44. After this happened, the disciples, fearful and discouraged, turned away from Jmmanuel and fled.
45. Those who had seized Jmmanuel led him to Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes, Pharisees, and elders of the people had gathered to pass judgment on him.
