Chapter 14

1Judas when a boy possessed by Satan, and brought 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.
2This 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.
3But 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.
4In 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.
5Then Judas, who was possessed, came and sat down at the right hand of Jesus.
6When Satan was acting upon him as usual, he went about to bite the Lord Jesus.
7And because he could not do it, he struck Jesus on the right side, so that he cried out.
8And in the same moment Satan went out of the boy, and ran away like a mad dog.
9This 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.
10And that same side, on which Judas struck him, the Jews pierced with a spear.
