* This also comes up in Literature/LambTheGospelAccordingToBiff. Judas is a member of the Jewish zealots and perhaps a ''little bit'' of a jerk, but otherwise loyal to Jesus/Josh. Josh not only singles him out for the role turning him over to the Romans, but also whispers instructions to him on how to do it. The novel doesn't even consider his act a betrayal as it was not only Josh's wish, but also an integral part of his plan for mankind's redemption.
** Hell, Josh chooses Judas for this precisely because, jerkishness aside, he was perhaps the ''most'' loyal to Josh (excluding Biff and Maggie) and would follow his orders without question. No matter how contrary.
** Creator/JorgeLuisBorges took this a step further, positing a mock-theory that Judas was the real Messiah; Jesus just sacrificed his mortal flesh, but Judas knowingly damned his soul in order to redeem humanity. Since this was presented as the final absurdity of a fictional academic in a fake academic essay, there's no way of knowing how seriously Borges took the idea.
** The Gospel of Luke suggests that Judas was possessed by Satan at the time. Go figure.
* John Brunner's story "Judas" (1967), from ''Literature/DangerousVisions'', retells the story in a futuristic context.

*** When it's not considered FanonDiscontinuity, some fans [[WildMassGuessing theorize]] that [[spoiler:C.J. was the leaker (since all the clues do point to her anyway), and Toby figured it out and took the fall because he was, at least a little bit, in love with her.]]

* ''LetsPlay/DreamSMP'': The reason [[spoiler:Eret]] [[RebelliousRebel betrayed L'Manburg]] during their War for Independence was because [[spoiler:they believed that it would allow the server to 'become peaceful again', thus benefitting the greater good of the server (even though the server was far from peaceful even before L'Manburg), and it was a win-win situation that they would gain political power]]. Needless to say, [[GoneHorriblyWrong it didn't work]], and [[spoiler:they had [[RegretfulTraitor regretted their decision]] ever since, and they are currently [[TheAtoner trying their utmost to make up for their past misdeeds]]]].

* ''VideoGame/BorderlandsThePreSequel'': [[spoiler:Roland, Lilith and Moxxie attempt to kill Jack with whom they initially worked with after they witness him betray the doctors who helped them by throwing them in space because he feared one of them might be a [[TheMole mole]]. The trio conclude that Jack is a dangerous psychopath and shouldn't be in power, and given his actions in ''VideoGame/Borderlands2'', they were right]].
