Jesus returns to Bethany after the Feast of Tabernacles. He talks to Lazarus, who tells him about Joseph of Arimathea, as well as Nicodemus. The former wants to see him, and says that anyone who performs miracles has God with him. The second criticizes the presence of Judas in the apostolic group, because he's a chameleon. So the two friends discuss Iscariot, and then the vision ends.

Jesus goes to a banquet given by Joseph of Arimathea. Lazarus, Gamaliel, Felix, John, Simon and Cornelius (Pharisees) are present. Jesus, for his part, has taken Thomas and Nicodemus with him. The guests talk about John the Baptist, whose holiness is indisputable, and how miracles do not necessarily prove holiness. They deviate to Aaron and Moses, talking in particular about the pontificate and the high priest, Caiaphas. Jesus gives a definition of a pontiff, but Felix is angry and leaves. Jesus then asks Gamaliel if he too wants a miracle, and Gamaliel only wants the sign the Child has promised him.
