Interesting observation. However, Judas did not turn Yeshua over to the Romans, that would of been unpardonable in the eyes other Jews, the religious leaders did ,so on that point I agree. Still there are many aspects of Yeshuas trial from the narratives that do pose some issues, (see Haim Cohn, The trial & death of Jesus. Harper & Row English translation 1967, 1971)
