139:6.4 In many respects [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartholomew_the_Apostle Nathaniel] was the odd [[genius]] of the twelve. He was the apostolic [[philosopher]] and [[dreamer]], but he was a very [[practical]] sort of dreamer. He alternated between [[seasons]] of [[profound]] [[philosophy]] and periods of rare and droll [[humor]]; when in the proper [[mood]], he was probably the best [[storyteller]] among the twelve. [[Jesus]] greatly enjoyed hearing [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartholomew_the_Apostle Nathaniel] [[discourse]] on things both serious and frivolous. Nathaniel [[progressively]] took [[Jesus]] and [[the kingdom]] more seriously, but never did he take himself seriously.

139:6.5 The [[apostles]] all [[loved]] and [[respected]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartholomew_the_Apostle Nathaniel], and he got along with them splendidly, excepting [[Judas Iscariot]]. Judas did not think [[Nathaniel]] took his apostleship sufficiently seriously and once had the [[temerity]] to go [[secretly]] to [[Jesus]] and lodge complaint against him. Said [[Jesus]]: " Judas, watch carefully your steps; do not overmagnify your office. Who of us is competent to [[judge]] his [[brother]]? It is not [[the Father]]'s will that his [[children]] should partake only of the serious things of life. Let me repeat: I have come that my brethren in the flesh may have [[joy]], gladness, and life more [[abundantly]]. Go then, Judas, and do well that which has been intrusted to you but leave [[Nathaniel]], your brother, to give account of himself to [[God]]. " And the memory of this, with that of many similar [[experiences]], long lived in the [[self]]-[[deceiving]] [[heart]] of [[Judas Iscariot]].

139:6.6 Many times, when [[Jesus]] was away on the [[mountain]] with [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]], [[James, the Apostle|James]], and [[John, the Apostle|John]], and things were becoming tense and tangled among the [[apostles]], when even [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] was in [[doubt]] about what to say to his disconsolate brethren, [[Nathaniel]] would relieve the [[tension]] by a bit of [[philosophy]] or a flash of [[humor]]; good humor, too.
