Judas had the same opportunities as had the other disciples. He listened to the same precious lessons. But the practice of the truth, 295 which Christ required, was at variance with the desires and purposes of Judas, and he would not yield his ideas in order to receive wisdom from Heaven.

Judas havde de samme muligheder som de andre disciple. Han lyttede til de samme vidunderlige lærdomme. Men den udøvelse af sandheden, som Kristus fordrede, stemte ikke overens med Judas' ønsker og hensigter, og han ville ikke opgive sine egne ideer for at kunne tage imod visdom fra Himmelen.
