it wasn't Jesus's plan, it was God's. that being said, the Trinity means that God and Jesus are the same being. Jesus also knew he was going to die. judas hung himself because he betrayed Jesus.

In the Original Kingdom Gospel that Jesus preached, the crucifixion had no prominent place, and most of the disciples did not show up for it... all that sacrifice thinking came from Paul and theologians... and those who want to think they can pass their suffering on to someone else. We are responsible for the things we do and say... and we need to change and be transformed. That was the Original Gospel. This online resource explains how the "gospel" we hear these days has been distorted: http://gospelenigma.com From Christ's point of view, his teachings were the important part of the gospel, not the crucifixion (Luke 4:43)

Many of the things Jesus spoke of, were spoke in Parables . And only those guided by the Holy Spirit even to this day, may understand them. Judas & many others did not see the True picture of the Word. And tried to do things on his own & his way. Not realizing that the 22nd Chapter of Psalms told of how Jesus would be crucified. And why this had to take place, in order to pay for our sins. Its kind of like today. We today see or watch the World news. And very few of us are realizing that what we are seeing was fore told in the Bible. Here all over this world we are having earthquakes or wars or floods etc: And Jesus said in Matthew 24: 7 & Mark 13: 8 & Luke 21: 11 that these signs would take place. It was also spoke about how all Nations would come against Jerusalem back in the book of Zechariah 14: V-2 & 3. And how he JESUS will stand on mount Olives & cause another big earthquake. All this is fore told & this part of Zechariah the old testament & spoke of again in the book of Revelation Ch: 16 V's 15, 16, 17, 18, 19. Todays problem is that most can not see the signs. Nor world they realize that Zechariah 14: V's 2-4 is the same moment in time as Revelation Ch: 16 V-18-19. People always try to see things their way, & not so much Gods way. I believe that was Judas Iscariot's main problem.
