If Judas knew that Jesus knew, had they discussed this before? Had Jesus, perhaps, chosen Judas to be the betrayer, since somebody had to finger Him? Was Judas promised pardon and vindication by Jesus for being the one to carry out the horrible prophecy? When he got up to go, why no reaction from the other disciples gathered at the table? The scene seems stilted, unnatural. Not clear as to why there’s no reaction when Jesus tells Judas to go do what he was supposed to do. If Judas knew that Jesus knew, had they discussed this before?
