From the 1973 production:Judas'Death.This excerpt is from my friend Aspenas:"from the beginning, Judas warns Jesus about what he is doing as if he was trying to open Jesus' eyes to what's likely to come. Also, he "sings" that he did what Jesus wanted him to do. That is definitely something clear even in the Bible. It was all planned".His resolution is surprising.
Lyrics:
JUDAS
My God! I saw him.
He looked three-quarters dead!
And he was so bad I had to turn my head.
You beat him so hard that he was bent and lame,
And I know who everybody's going to blame.
I don't believe he knows I acted for our good.
I'd save him all this suffering if I could.
Don't believe...our good...
And I'd save him if I could...
ANNAS
Cut the confessions, forget the excuses.
I don't understand why you're filled with remorse.
All that you've said has come true with a vengeance.
The mob turned against him, you backed the right horse.
CAIAPHAS
What you have done will be the saving of everyone.
You'll be remembered forever for this.
And not only that, you've been paid for your efforts.
Pretty good wages for one little kiss.
JUDAS
Christ, I know you can't hear me,
But I only did what you wanted me too.
Christ, I'd sell out the nation,
For I have been saddled with the murder of you.
I have been spattered with innocent blood.
I shall be dragged through the slime and the mud.
I have been spattered with innocent blood.
I shall be dragged through the slime and the slime and the slime
and the mud!
I don't know how to love him.
I don't know why he moves me.
He's a man. He's just a man.
He is not a king. He is just the same
As anyone I know.
He scares me so!
When he's cold and dead will he let me be?
Does he love me too? Does he care for me?
My mind is in darkness.
God, God I'm sick. I've been used,
And you knew all the time.
God! I'll never ever know why you chose me for your crime.
For your foul bloody crime
You have murdered me! ...have murdered me
murdered me!
murdered me!
murdered me!
murdered me!
murdered me!
murdered...-
CHOIR
Poor old Judas. So long Judas.

how do we know his ... ( 1 week ago by StudioGhibli123)

how do we know his intentions were bad? This was thousands of years ago, the story could be maybe...twisted, if you know what I mean, maybe to get back at Judas "they" made him sound worse than he was?

I am only stating ... ( 1 week ago by fatdanios)

I am only stating what is in the Bible. If you were to read the gospels you can see for yourself what was said about Judas from the people closest to Jesus. I do trust the historicity and accuracy of Scripture.

Ok,I will read them ... ( 1 week ago by StudioGhibli123)

Ok,I will read them, if it helps me see the story of Jesus clearer, thanks for all your help... much appreciated ^^

interesting that ... ( 1 week ago by joshibiz)

interesting that weber chose a black man to play the part of judas, and then he is last seen hanging by the neck off a tree limb. I wonder if he was alluding to americas past or something deeper. or maybe it was just casting

I think that judas ... ( 1 week ago by Tempelknight)

I think that judas saw more then any of the others he saw the truth and i think he understanded jesus more then any of the other apostels

the accuracy of ... ( 1 week ago by Knightmare44)

the accuracy of scriptures.... rofl! The bible was written over a period of 1400-1800 years, many of it well after jesus died. Now one thing to remember is the period that they lived in, no mail, no phones, no internet, the only communication was word of mouth from travelers and traveling yourself. it's VERY VERY VERY probable that things got distorted, changed, or just misinterpreted in the translation. ever played that game where you sit aroudn the campfire & pass a story & it gets changed?

Yes, many people ... ( 1 week ago by makisnr)

Yes, many people thinks that... I've been told that Judas did what he HAD to do: He denounced Jesus and then he ended with his life, because he wanted to meet Jesus in heaven. But I repeat, no one knows what happened and no one knows if Judas was a good or a bad man.

Wow that was ... ( 6 days ago by haidarocks)

Wow that was intense I love the reprise he does before he kills himself The song is so sad and beautiful =( "Does he love me too?" OMG MY FAVOURTITE LINE! Sounds soooo good! Amazing singer!

i mean really, keep ... ( 4 days ago by xbootyshortsx)

i mean really, keep in mind that Judas was stealing from the church/disciples/whatever for himself. and also i think in the bible this is used to show that Mary is like i don't have any words or whatever to show you how much i love you, so here is perfume that costs me a year's wages. also i guess it was customary at the time to annoint kings with perfumes before burial or something. mostly its really symbolic and beautiful

that makes no sense ... ( 4 days ago by xbootyshortsx)

that makes no sense on this page of comment, poo

fuck symbols. ... ( 3 days ago by ltcount)

fuck symbols. besides it seems like more people, today, who take millions off people that show up to church on sunday, deserve such a appropriate death, too.

fuck symbols?? what? "fuck creativity!" lmao

Hard fate...

loving symbols is ... ( 1 day ago by ltcount)

loving symbols is just idol worship, right? so fuck symbols. when the ddouche bag that was acting as pope visited africa years ago, people got trampled just to kiss that cunts ring. something was wrong with that picture. there's no such thing as holy rocks either. that's another ruse. kissing the feet a vigin mary statue is pretty goddamn stupid, too.

heaven doesn't have a finacial price. blow me. thumbs down that. lol

ohh, i agree then, i thought you just really didn't like literary elements

no, it's just funny ... ( 21 hours ago by ltcount)

no, it's just funny how people give objects graven images as is god would want people to worship rocks(statues) and pieces of medal(jewelry). if he did, that would kinda make him a raving hypocrite.

yeah, to me ... ( 21 hours ago by ratfinkskates)

yeah, to me religion is like worshiping gravity and making all sorts of stuff up about it. then we can't prove it wrong cause we can't see gravity.

it's also is rather ... ( 21 hours ago by ltcount)

it's also is rather funny how ALL religions have been corrupted. yet, many still follow traditions as if they do good on their end, all is normal and ok. talk about a farce compounded with an selfcentered ego? meanwhile, children are still getting molested by priest, gays entertaining everyone with the help of the church choir and the so called "terrorist" telling OTHERS to blow themselves to bits all in the name of god. what kinda god do any of these cunts believe in???

yeah, but if that ... ( 17 hours ago by ratfinkskates)

yeah, but if that remark about gay people was saying there's something wrong with that, then i'd say you've also been brainwashed by our religious based culture

religion and ... ( 16 hours ago by matt8284)

religion and beliefs are the cause of almost all the conflict in the history of earth. there is no denying that at all. only disputes over land comes close

brainwashed by ... ( 15 hours ago by ltcount)

brainwashed by religion? i lost all faith in religion, not god. if there's a cock sucker out their willing to save the world, point me in their direction. i'll be the 1st one to give them a hand job. since there no such cock sucker out there, don't force your sexual prefernce down my throat. last time i checked, sodom and gomorrah got ashed for a reason. if you skipped passed that story, blam the queer haters who wrote the bible, ok lady.
