Yes, but would anyone else have done the job?
There are many who believe that we are all Judas in some respects. All the sins common to the Disciples are common to all men, even betrayal for our own desires.
Some believe Judas betrayed Jesus because he really did believe He was the Messiah and Judas was trying to kick-start the revolution against the Romans. Perhaps it is the modern day equivalent of praying for Jesus to come soon.
