He wanted it that way himself

We are talking about a manuscript in Coptic, the “age” of which is estimated at approximately 1,700 years. Experts believe it is a translation of an earlier document written in ancient Greek. The text states that Judas was not a traitor at all. He is one of the closest disciples of Christ. Therefore, the Teacher himself asked Judas to hand him over to the authorities in order to get rid of his bodily shell in this way. The story ends with the arrest of Jesus. Nothing is said about what happened next.
