Well actually that's a bit incorrect. Judas was a Zealot so he believed the Messiah would be a warrior messiah so he figured by betraying Yeshua he would force his hand, because he didn't believe that he would allow himself to die and suffer. Judas didn't understand so therefore he let his guilt overtake him and hung himself.
