157:7.1 That evening [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] took it upon himself to hold a [[personal]] and searching [[conference]] with each of his brethren, and he had profitable and [[Encouragement|heartening]] talks with all of his [[associates]] except [[Judas Iscariot]]. [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] had never enjoyed such [[intimate]] [[personal]] [[association]] with [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]] as with the other [[apostles]] and therefore had not thought it of serious account that Judas never had [[freely]] and [[confidential]]ly related himself to the head of the apostolic corps. But [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] was now so [[worried]] by [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]]'s [[attitude]] that, later on that night, after all [[the apostles]] were fast asleep, he sought out [[Jesus]] and presented his cause for [[anxiety]] to [[the Master]]. Said [[Jesus]]: " It is not amiss, [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]], that you have come to me with this matter, but there is nothing more that we can do; only go on placing the utmost [[confidence]] in this [[apostle]]. And say nothing to his brethren concerning this talk with me. "

157:7.2 And that was all [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] could elicit from [[Jesus]]. Always had there been some strangeness between this [[Judea]]n and his [[Galilee|Galilean]] brethren. [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]] had been [[shocked]] by the [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_135#135:12._DEATH_OF_JOHN_THE_BAPTIST death of John the Baptist], severely hurt by [[the Master]]'s [[rebuke]]s on several occasions, [[disappointed]] when [[Jesus]] [http://nordan.daynal.org/wiki/index.php?title=Paper_152#152:3._THE_KING-MAKING_EPISODE refused to be made king], [[humiliate]]d when he fled from the [[Pharisees]], chagrined when he refused to [[accept]] the [[challenge]] of the [[Pharisees]] for a [[sign]], bewildered by the refusal of his [[the Master|Master]] to resort to [[manifestations]] of [[power]], and now, more recently, [[depressed]] and sometimes dejected by an empty [[treasury]]. And [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]] missed the [[stimulus]] of [[Public|the multitudes]].

157:7.3 Each of the other [[apostles]] was, in some and varying [[measure]], likewise affected by these selfsame [[trials]] and tribulations, but they [[love]]d [[Jesus]]. At least they must have loved [[the Master]] more than did [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]], for they went through with him to the bitter end.
