    Even taking out instruction by Jesus, which would be controversial, the story would not have played out correctly without the betrayal of Judas. He had a pivotal role.

    A more friendly interpretation would be that Jesus knew Judas would betray him from the beginning and allowed it to happen, because it was God’s Will.

      I think Jesus could be fairly certain based on his own actions that at some point violence would come to him.

      Its interesting that it came from a follower, maybe the world’s most famous whistleblower?
