on the Mount of Olives 40 days after Jesus' resurrection is not recorded in John's Gospel. The evangelist notes that Jesus lost some of his following from that [time] or "at this point" or "for this reason". The text makes clear that "many left Him" and "no longer walked with Him". Jesus then asks "the twelve" whether they would also walk away (). This is John's first reference to "the twelve": they have not previously been mentioned as a group or as the "twelve apostles", nor have twelve named disciples yet been introduced. (In , Andrew and Simon Peter, Philip and Nathaniel were named; Judas, son of Simon Iscariot is here named as one of the twelve whom Jesus had "chosen").

Despite the latter statement and as it was said before, has also a possible secondary reference to the Cefa' temporary betrayment of Jesus again predicted in .

The chapter 7 starts with the choice of Jesus to avoid the Judea and the Tribe of Judah, the tribe of the lion of Judah which is identified with Christ himself, because they "sought to kill him." If the belonging tribe of Judas the Iscariot and of Peter aren't specified, Nathanael's words "can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?" () show the Tribe of Judas had
