Friendship and Betrayal

What was the relationship between Christ Jesus and Judas Iscariot?

In this context, the following word of Christ Jesus should be noted: 

John 15

13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Therefore, it can be assumed that Christ Jesus was a friend of Judas Iscariot.  As Christ Jesus died on the cross for some reason related to Judas Iscariot, He observed His own word.  Therefore, as Judas Iscariot realized that Christ Jesus died on the cross for their friendship, he committed a suicide.

Indeed, Christ Jesus with superpower as the Son of the God should have been able to avoid the death on the cross.  But, if He had avoided the death on the cross, Judas Iscariot must have been killed by Roman soldiers or the Jewish authority.  So, in order to save the life of Judas Iscariot, Christ Jesus chose to die on the cross.

This is one interpretation on Christ Jesus' death on the cross.  Indeed, He had the super power with which He could suppress Roman soldiers and the Jewish authority.  But, He allowed Roman soldiers and the Jewish authority to kill Him on the cross.  And, it is reasonably thought that if Christ Jesus had successfully run away from Roman soldiers and the Jewish authority, Judas Iscariot, the betrayer who sold Christ Jesus to them, should have been blamed so as to be killed by them.  

However, Christ Jesus was not lenient, mentioning the betrayer:

Mark 14
21 The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.

Indeed, it is not easy to completely understand Christ Jesus and Judas Iscariot.  However, it is clear that Christ Jesus recommended friendship but condemn betrayal.

Acts 12, King James Version

12 And when he had considered the thing, he came to the house of Mary the mother of John, whose surname was Mark; where many were gathered together praying.
13 And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.
14 And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate.
15 And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.
