"Judas"' was found here until the seventh (1981) Urantia Foundation printing, when it was conformed to the spelling found elsewhere: "Judas's" (see also note for 177:4.9).

Original Paragraph:

^{P1565:9, 139:12.1} Judas Iscariot, the twelfth apostle, was chosen by Nathaniel. He was born in Kerioth, a small town in southern Judea. When he was a lad, his parents moved to Jericho, where he lived and had been employed in his father's various business enterprises until he became interested in the preaching and work of John the Baptist. Judas parents were Sadducees, and when their son joined John's disciples, they disowned him.
