By the time of Judas’ betrayal, Jesus had made it clear that He planned to die, not start a rebellion against Rome. So Judas may have assumed—just as the Pharisees did—that since He would not overthrow the Romans, He must not be the Messiah they were expecting.
Kwa wakati wa usaliti Yuda, Yesu alikuwa ameweka wazi kwamba Alipanga kufa, si kuanza uasi dhidi ya Roma. Basi, Yuda anaweza kuwa alidhani-tu kama Mafarisayo walifanya-kwamba tangu hangepindua Warumi, Hapaswi kuwa Masihi wao walikuwa wanatarajia.
