As I understand it, the story is Jesus knew Judas would betray him, but let him do it so he could take the world's sin away. This is theologically troubling; if the betrayal was necessary to enact the big plan, why damn him for it?
It doesn't work out well for Judas. He gets his thirty pieces of silver, then hangs himself. Everyone played him.
