There is a book called 'the book of Judas' which seemingly tries to rehabilitate Judas and says he was not betraying Jesus, but trying to save Him. LOL. However, that book also says that at the last supper, Jesus pulled Judas aside and told him the 'secrets of the universe.' Now that Judas knew the secrets of the universe, what use would he have for Jesus. It was, IMO, the perfect motive for murder. But something happened. It didn't work out so well for Judas as he never practiced any of those secrets, rather he suicided. ?
Well, I don't go for the idea that he was trying to "save him", but to be honest, I've always been a bit conflicted about the Judas issue, because in order for the whole betrayal, death, resurrection thing to have occurred, it was almost like some type of predestined action led up to that particular event. Did Jesus himself know what was coming? Did he have precognitive ability or vision prior to things happening? This all gets into some pretty complicated and strange ideas and concepts, which none of us can really have any actual knowledge of. Personally, I tend to suspect that Jesus was much more than the traditional images present him to be.
