The false disciple acted his part in betraying Jesus. In the garden, when he said to the leaders of the mob, "Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is He: hold Him fast" (Matt. 26:48), he fully believed that Christ would escape out of their hands. Then if they should blame him, he could say, Did I not tell you to hold Him fast?

Den falske discipel spillede sin rolle ved at forråde Jesus. Da han i haven sagde til skarens anførere: "Den, jeg kysser, ham er det; ham skal I gribe" (Matt. 26, 48), troede han fuldt og fast, at Kristus ville undkomme fra dem. Hvis de så bebrejdede ham noget, kunne han sige: Sagde jeg ikke, at I skulle gribe ham
