Why did Jesus allow Judas to betray Him, when He clearly knew Judas` evil intention?

"that the Scripture may be fulfilled".

 Jesus knew his destiny, he knew that he had to be betrayed. I don't think he wanted to be crucified, as indicated by what he said "What you do, do quickly." - more importantly though Jesus wanted to do the will of his Father because of his love for Him.

Why did Jesus choose such a humble entrance (riding on a donkey) when He came into Jerusalem?

To fulfill the prophesy in Zechariah 9:9

 "Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout in triumph, O daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, your king is coming to you; He is just and endowed with salvation, Humble, and mounted on a donkey, Even on a colt, the foal of a donkey."
