John 2:24 ,24 "But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,",25 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.
The pain of betrayal is avoided by knowing that Only Jesus is worthy of our trust and our trust in Him can be seen in our trusting and following His ways; not trusting ourselves to others because that was His way. He did that because He knew that the seed of betrayal is in man's nature.
Matthew 26:24
God's judgement on those who betray others is enough to completely deal the betrayal making it seem as if the one who betrayed never existed.
