Yep. It all stems from whether Jesus wanted to be captured or not, and to test the old prophesy of the messiah, he had to be turned in. Judas got the honor. This is clear by his being given the sop ahead of all the others and why thy just sat there sulking as Judas left on his mission for his best friend Jesus.

My analysis of the Judas event doesn't have anything to do with Jesus' knowledge or motives. All that matters is that Jesus' divinity was revealed only after Judas turned Jesus over to the Romans which implies Judas wasn't aware of that fact and thus the possibility that Judas believed he was solving a problem instead of creating one can't be ruled out. If so, Judas is not guilty of betrayal.

I second this.
