The Gospel of Barnabas · Chapter 214
Jesus Prays in the Garden and Judas Brings Soldiers
Having gone forth from the house, Jesus retired into the garden to pray, according as his custom was to pray, bowing his knees an hundred times and prostrating himself upon his face.
Judas, accordingly, knowing the place where Jesus was with his disciples, went to the high priest, and said: 'If ye will give me what was promised, this night will I give into your hand Jesus whom ye seek: for he is alone with eleven companions.'
The high priest answered: 'How much seekest thou?'
Said Judas: 'Thirty pieces of gold.'
Then straightway the high priest counted unto him the money, and sent a Pharisee to the governor to fetch soldiers, and to Herod, and they gave a legion of them, because they feared the people; wherefore they took their arms, and with torches and lanterns upon staves went out of Jerusalem.
After leaving the house, Jesus withdrew into the garden to pray, as was his custom, bending his knees a hundred times and prostrating himself face down.
Judas knew the place where Jesus was staying with his disciples. He went to the high priest and said: 'If you give me what you promised, tonight I will deliver into your hands the Jesus you seek, for he is alone with eleven companions.'
The high priest answered: 'How much do you ask?'
Judas said: 'Thirty pieces of gold.'
The high priest immediately counted out the money. He sent a Pharisee to the governor and to Herod to obtain soldiers. Because they feared the people, they provided a legion. The soldiers took their weapons and left Jerusalem carrying torches and lanterns on poles.
