Acts of Thomas

Acts of Thomas 118:1

Thus speaking, he fell asleep. And she took ten denarii, and went secretly away to give them to the keepers of the prison in order to be permitted to go to the apostle. By the way Judas Thomas met her, who went to her. Upon seeing him, she was afraid, because she took him for one of the princes, as much light went before him. And running away, she said within herself, “I have ruined thee, poor soul, for thou shalt not again see Judas, the apostle of the living God, and hast not received the holy seal.” And running away she went to a narrow place and hid herself there, saying, “It is better to be caught by poorer ones, which one can persuade, than to meet with this powerful prince, who despises presents.”
