Leonid Nikolaevich Andreev. Judas Iscariot (№ 177169)

Once at rest, the apostles decided to have some fun: meryayas power, they raise from the earth the stones - who is the greatest? and throw into the abyss. Judas lifts the heavy piece of rock. His face glows with triumph: now it is clear that he, Judah, is the strongest, most beautiful, the best of the twelve. "Lord, prays to Christ Peter, I don't want the strongest was Judas. Help me defeat him!" - "But who will help Iscariot?" - it is with sadness that corresponds to Jesus.
