Jesus chose Judas, knowing he would betray Him.

He had already failed.

Jesus didn’t set him up to fail and I suspect that if Judas had repented as Peter did, that Jesus would have welcomed him back.

How does what you said track with John 6:64,70-71 quoted above?

Following the analogy, wouldn’t Jesus have known if he was going to repent?

I think you are right MM. Even after Judas betrayed Jesus, I think the door was still open for repentance, and yes, Jesus would have welcomed him back.

I don't suspect; I know!

I think Jesus HIMself mentioned something about 70 times 7 at one point in time.
