It was he that taught you, Judas." The face of Judas grew pale, and something suddenly came over Thomas, and as if it were a white cloud, passed over and concealed the road and Jesus.

With a gentle movement Judas just as suddenly drew Thomas to himself, pressed him closely with a paralysing movement, and whispered in his ear-- "You mean, then, that a devil has instructed me, don't you, Thomas?
Well, I saved Jesus.

Therefore a devil loves Jesus and has need of Him, and of the truth.

Is it not so, Thomas?
But then my father was not a devil, but a he-goat.

Can a he-goat want Jesus?
Eh?
And don't you want Him yourselves, and the truth also ?" Angry and slightly frightened, Thomas freed himself with difficulty from the clinging embrace of Judas, and began to stride forward quickly.
But he soon slackened his pace as he endeavoured to understand what had taken place.
But Judas crept on gently behind, and gradually came to a standstill.
And lo! in the distance the pedestrians became blended into a parti-coloured mass, so that it was impossible any longer to distinguish which among those little figures was Jesus.
