CHAPTER XIV.

1 Judas when a boy possessed by Satan, and brought up

by his parents to Jesus to be cured, whom he tries to bite,

7 but failing, strikes Jesus and makes him cry out.

Whereupon Satan goes from Jesus in the shape of a dog.

ANOTHER woman likewise

lived there, whose son was

possessed by Satan,

2 This boy, named Judas, as

often as Satan seized him, was

inclined to bite all that were

present; and if he found no one else

near him, he would bite his own

hands and other parts.

3 But the mother of this miserable

boy, hearing of St. Mary and her son

Jesus, arose presently and taking

her son in her arms, brought him

to the Lady Mary.

4 In the meantime, James and

Joses had taken away the infant,

the Lord Jesus, to play at a proper

season with other children;

and when they went forth, they

sat down and the Lord Jesus with

them.

5 Then Judas, who was possessed,

came and sat down at the right hand

of Jesus.

6 When Satan was acting upon him

as usual, he went about to bite

the Lord Jesus.

7 And because he could not do

it, he struck Jesus on the right

side, so that he cried out.

8 And in the same moment Satan

went out of the boy, and ran

away like a mad dog.

9 This same boy who struck

Jesus, and out of whom Satan went

in the form of a dog, was Judas

Iscariot, who betrayed him to the

Jews.

10 And that same side, on which

Judas: struck him, the Jews

pierced with a spear.
