An SMBC comic with a title banner reading "SMBC PRESENTS: OMITTED BIBLE PASSAGES." In a single panel, two robed biblical figures stand together. A bearded man on the left (Judas) says, "Hey, uh... Jesus? Remember when I loaned you that 30 pieces of silver and you said you'd pay me back the next day." The red-bearded figure on the right with a golden halo (Jesus) replies, "Hey, uh... Judas? Remember when you had a stupid voice and were always annoying me with it?" The joke flips the famous 30-pieces-of-silver betrayal into a petty roommate-style money squabble, with Jesus deflecting a debt by insulting Judas. Votey (aftercomic): a hand-drawn close-up of Jesus's face wearing a smug, sidelong look as he says, "I'll be right back" — implying he's about to dodge paying the debt.
