A soul met with Peter to thus sojourn with him at the gates of Heaven for a time. Their conversation came to turn to Judas, and the soul mentioned its pity for him, that he was cast into outer darkness for betraying the Son of Man.
At these words a storm appeared and the air turned cold, and there was the sound of weeping and much gnashing of teeth. And Peter, whom they then called by the name of Ramah in the holy places, remarked: "If it be Hell where there is one that betrayed the Son of Man, surely it is Hell three times greater where there is one that betrayed him thrice."
The soul repented, and the gates were opened. And whether Judas was standing by to greet him there, we are not told, but only this: None of his sins that he hath committed shall be mentioned unto him. And again, Though thy sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as wool. Even so.
