The Bible says that Judas was paid to identify Jesus. Why was that necessary. Jesus had been all over the place.
The fact is that judas was paid to missidentify Jesus/Augustus.
Judas kissed Simon. Roman soldiers do not kill, Roman emperors.
Jesus told peter that he was to say "I do not know the man". That was Jesus telling Peter to lie and say that Jesus was not Jesus. So he could not misidentify Jesus. Finally when they failed to misidentify someone else to die in place of Jesus they hired Judas to do it. Judas actually saved jesus. Legend says that Judas either jumped off a cliff or hung himself. He was either thrown off a cliff or lynched by Roman soldiers. Judas knew too much. He knew that it was not Jesus who was "impaled".
In either case it would not have been hard to identify Jesus/Augustus because he was an albino.
So the answer is that all the soldiers and spectators just stood silent and let Simon die in place of their lord. Tell me you would have snitched.
