Very possible. According to the gospel of Judas, Jesus asked Judas to turn him in to the Romans to help him "finish" his appointed tasks from God and "prove" he was God's son It may be that Judas simply did as he was told. This makes Jesus looks like a deluded narcissist or at the very least a schizophrenic. He had his eyes on the prize and was willing to fill his good friend with grief and guilt enough to kill him just to get it. He was also willing to die himself, painfully, but since there were no bombs to speak of in those times he couldn't kill half the town along with him. Judas may also have believed that Jesus was suffering from anosognosia (a disorder many mentally ill people suffer from that makes it impossible for them to recognize they need treatment) and simply wanted to find treatment for him before the whole world began believing his delusions. He just went to the wrong people. Well, the right ones for what Jesus wanted, but the wrong ones for Judas to get his friend the help he so desperately needed.

Many mentally ill people ask for help themselves. This too may have been what Jesus was doing. Perhaps he thought that a good anno-domini psychiatrist would help him with his delusions of grandeur. Perhaps he forgot that back in those days, mentally ill people were treated with venomous hate and either killed outright or tortured. This remained true for the next 2000 years. People who suffered like Jesus were made to suffer further. Just a couple of decades ago, most people nowadays described as 'mildly depressed' were shut away in institutions and believed to be so unstable that they couldn't be amongst the rest of the world. Now too, the people suffering the most are left with no alternative oftentimes but to hurt themselves or another because their minds shut down and they cannot help themselves. That these people should only be allowed 3 days in a psychiatric hospital when they are clearly dangers to themselves and other is a travesty. Perhaps the Jesuses of today wil receive the treatment they so desperately need. The Baker Act needs to be reformed so that it allows severely ill patients to receive the help they need for as long as they need it. Some places have begun this reformation but not nearly enough. The three-day rule certainly wouldn't have helped Jesus the Christ back in the day. He needed a much stronger treatment plan and the opportunity to get the medications and therapy he so desperately needed.

In all seriousness, the need for further reformation of the Baker Act in all states can be found here:

A prophesy heavily isn't a curse, it would not make issues take place, it comfortably shows God's capabilities of what's going to ensue. If Judas weren't going too betray Jesus then it is going to no longer have been foretold. Jesus was going to die on the bypass no rely what Judas did. If he hadn't betrayed Jesus it would have befell yet differently even though it besides the actuality that would have befell. provided that It became as quickly as God's plan.
