Jesus did some things specifically to fulfill the Messianic prophecies. He purposely rode into Jerusalem on a donkey, as it was prophesied the Messiah would. I believe that Jesus planned the whole crucifixion thing, and Judas was a willing participant.

That was hilarious. =D

This is generating some good response, I'm seeing some points that make a lot of sense.

I believe that, agreeing with the story of Christ for the sake of argument, Judas knew he had to betray Jesus or the prophecy would not be fulfilled; I don't think he went to the Pharisees with the intent of hurting his guru. I just think it's been two thousand years, and the story's been warped to show it that way. They both (Judas and Jesus) knew what they were doing.
