Judas Sicariotes was the Chief of the Scribes until the crucifixion. He was committed to zealotry & eastern views. The successor of Judas the Galilean, he was called 'Satan', & under this name debated with Jesus during the 'Temptations'. On this occasion (which took place near Mird, the 'Wilderness')), they were together working out the differences within the newly formed anti-Baptist party. Showing Jesus a map of the world as ir was then known, he said, "If you will worship me, all this will be yours". The concealed meaning was: "If you will accept me as Priest-Pope, I will make you king." Jesus replied, "You shall worship the Lord your God, & him only you shall serve". He was declaring his support for the head of the peace faction, Jonathon Annas.
