Judas: “Now listen! I am Judas, one of the Disciples of Jesus. His death is on my conscience, for it is I who disclosed to the Templers that night His whereabouts for a lousy 30 silver coins. I never would have thought that the Master would have taken such a fatal end. Rather I thought He would now prove His Might and establish Himself as the King of the Jews, would free us from the Roman yoke in order to establish a Jewish kingdom. At least that is how I heard it coming from His mouth, and it seemed to me that it was how He wanted it. And since no one stopped me I went to the temple and divulged His night-time whereabouts. When I saw the disaster I had caused, I lost all my sanity and immediately went to the temple. There, I threw the money I had received at their feet and demanded He be set free. And here I came to know the hatred that was leveled against Jesus in its entirety, and in my despair I hanged myself."
