Judas surrounded the unhappy Jesus, during those last days of His short life, with quiet love and tender care and caresses.

Bashful and timid like a maid in her first love, strangely sensitive and discerning, he divined the minutest unspoken wishes of Jesus, penetrating to the hidden depth of His feelings, His passing fits of sorrow, and distressing moments of weariness.

And wherever Jesus stepped, His foot met something soft, and whenever He turned His gaze, it encountered something pleasing.

Formerly Judas had not liked Mary Magdalene and the other women who were near Jesus.

He had made rude jests at their expense, and done them little unkindnesses.
