You don't get it. It was written in prophecies - it just must have happened because (supposedly) some guy years before wrote a story about it.
In the book of Mark--the earliest Gospel--none of the disciples realize Jesus is the Son of God, lol.
Scholars call it the "Messianic Secret".
I imagine it all to be like game of thrones or Harry Potter, where the characters have access to incredible magic spells, but hardly ever use them. Maybe Judas just didn’t see enough sparkles.
