If Jesus was a man, how do we read his stories? How do actual people behave?
Did he call himself "The Son of God", or "A son of God", as all men are?
He knew he had a bounty on his head, so why not let someone you know collect that bounty? Maybe, buy a nice meal with it?
You know, I bet you could recuperate from a non lethal crucifixion after around 3 days. After which you could leave town by ascending the mountains to the east, into 'heaven'.
If Judas paid for the last supper, did he pay for it with the bounty on his friends head? Was this the plan all along? What is the relation to a basket of fish, and the fiat banking system? Is their a parable in this fable? Can you make 10 gold pieces out of 1?

Read Matthew 16:13-20. He called himself the "Son of Man," and when He asked the disciples who He was, they knew He was the Christ. He then warned the disciples NOT to tell that to the people.
Elsewhere in the Gospel, some demons were all "Spoiler alert! This dude is the Messiah!" and Jesus is like "STFU and get out of that guy!" The concept is known as the messianic secret. No one is exactly sure why He wanted to keep it secret (some theories include He wanted people to come to their own judgements, or that His early ministry wasn't the time to reveal it in case they kill him too early.)
