Judas de Kérioth (apostle)

In EMV 120, Jesus preaches on the Commandment: "Thou shalt have no other gods before me". He talks about the presence of God, who is with man all the time, encouraging him to do good deeds all the time; this also discourages his children from doing evil. Then Jesus speaks of the Lord's holy jealousy, who wants us for himself, for an eternity of delight, in his endless Heaven. Finally, he speaks of idolatry, for we all have secret altars in our hearts; then the Savior emphasizes the mercy of the Most High, and invites us to act well, to make of our hearts a Heaven that welcomes God.

When the preaching is over, Jesus performs miracles on sick people. Then he sends the Twelve to baptize, while Judas and Simon give alms.

It's raining in Belle-Eau. There are no pilgrims. The apostolic group is in good spirits, however, and the apostles eventually discover that the veiled woman is living in a very precarious shelter. So they decide to help her. Judas confesses that he knows where she is sheltering, but he has managed to fight his curiosity and not discover who she is. Jesus congratulates him, and the Twelve wonder what to do about the veiled woman. Jesus asks them to decide, as this is a situation where their self-esteem "is at stake" and he has no business pressuring them to protect it. Everyone then gives their opinion, and it is decided to take her to a separate room, where they welcome the sick. When Aglaé is safe, Jesus talks to them briefly about neighborly love, and about souls that don't change because their masters don't act holily.
