A fun one, but it doesn't really escape the greedy jew motivation - and stands at odds with the narrative details if we're imagining a real boy. Magic book has him pegged as, essentially, a dirty accountant who was making money. No reason to end the grift.
To understand that, one has to leave fantasies about a real boy entirely behind. The Jew betrayed god because it had become clear to The Jew that the messiah would not, in fact, be overthrowing rome or restoring israel or any of that silly shit that The Jew believed in. This was the reason that The Jew handed christ over to the romans. The Jew stealing from the moneybag is, itself, a rather transparent allusion to ot narratives about race traitors availing themselves of the gifts of their god while simultaneously rejecting the ethnic purity it demands. In gentile minds, just as The Jew accepted and abused the stewardship god granted him, The Jews accepted and abused the stewardship god had exclusively granted them before as extemporized by the various redneck prophets of the OT railing on and on about their version of inner city crimes.
In a nutshell, it's a story attempting to explain why and how the jewish people could come to reject and ultimately kill their own god - which was a real headscratcher for christian curious pagans. Ultimately, the only answers that could even -be- in the wheelhouse of accuracy are fundamentally incompatible with christian belief. That there was no jesus christ who proved his godhood to a single jew or many. More generally, that christianity is wholly inconsistent with and completely heretical to the jewish faith. Challenges on factual and foundational grounds simply cannot be admitted in the mind of a cultist - and most of those cultists already hated jews anyway.
You know..if the romanizers hadn't hated jews so much, christianity might have come out of the cauldron a life affirming rather than life denying religion. It may have had a more positive view of humanity in general. The story works on many levels and with many interpretations, just as insisted - the trouble being that every one of them is a raging dumpster fire.
