He stands in Berlin Cathedral, accompanied by the organ of cathedral organist Andreas Sieling, and makes it clear that he, Judas, cannot be a traitor because there was no betrayal. After all, what did he reveal that everyone didn't know anyway? That Jesus claimed to be the Son of God? After all, he didn't hide it himself. Where was he? Thousands knew that anyway...
