He did not stop Judas because Jesus Christ gave Judas his agency, the
same as everyone else.  He did not need to stop Judas because in a
short time he and three of his apostles would go to the Garden of
Gethsemane and he would take upon himself the sins of the world,
completing his work on earth.

===========

... none of which would have happened but for Judas.

He wouldn't even have had to stop Judas, merely avoid his presence or change 
his travel plans.
Fact is, he had a death wish.
He was gagging for the martyr's death.
