I'm actually not trying to start a fight on this one, but if it was part
of the "plan" for Judas to turncoat on Jesus, then it's a fair guess
that the expected penalty would be death.
From this paragraph:
The account goes on to relate that Jesus refers to the other disciples,
telling Judas "you will exceed all of them. For you will sacrifice the
man that clothes me." By that, scholars familiar with Gnostic thinking
said, Jesus meant that by helping him get rid of his physical flesh,
Judas will act to liberate the true spiritual self or divine being
within Jesus.
However, I question the need for Jesus to have help in ridding himself
of the physical. Couldn't he just as easily starved himself to death?
This is smacking pretty hard of one of the plot premises behind the
movie Dogma...

This doesn't appear to signify that idea. It just shows Judas Iscariot
wasn't a traitor. It doesn't say Jesus asked Caephaes to have him crucified.

So....the crucifixion was a setup?

We simply can't idiot-proof everything. Sometimes the idiots just have
to suffer and die.
