9.  Let us then seek the testimonies to the Passion of Christ:  for we are met together, not now to make a speculative exposition of the Scriptures, but rather to be certified of the things which we already believe.  Now thou hast received from me first the testimonies concerning the coming of Jesus; and concerning His walking on the sea, for it is written, Thy way is in the sea Ps. lxxvii. 19.  The Benedictine Editor, with no authority but the Latin version by Grodecq, inserts a quotation of Job ix. 8:  Who walketh on the sea, as on a pavement.  Cf. xi. 23..  Also concerning divers cures thou hast on another occasion received testimony.  Now therefore I begin from whence the Passion began.  Judas was the traitor, and he came against Him, and stood, speaking words of peace, but plotting war.  Concerning him, therefore, the Psalmist says, My friends and My neighbours drew near against Me, and stood Ps. xxxviii. 11..  And again, Their words were softer than oil, yet be they spears Ib. lv. 21..  Hail, Master Matt. xxvi. 49.; yet he was betraying his Master to death; he was not abashed at His warning, when He said, Judas, betrayest than the Son of Man with a kiss Luke xxii. 48.? for what He said to him was just this, Recollect thine own name; Judas means confession Cf.
