Quotes 

• Judas : Nazareth, your famous son should have stayed a great unknown. Like his father carving wood, he'd have made good. Tables, chairs and oaken chests would have suited Jesus best. He'd have cause nobody harm.

• Judas : Yes, I can understand that she amuses. But to let her stroke you and kiss your hair, is hardly in your line.

• Judas : All your followers are blind... too much heaven on their minds!

• Judas : I haven't thought at all about my own reward; I didn't really come here of my own accord. Just don't say I'm damned for all time!

  Annas : Cut the protesting, forget the excuses. We want information, get up off the floor!

  Caiaphas : We have the papers we need to arrest him. You know his movements, we know the law.

  Annas : Your help in this matter will not go unrewarded.

  Caiaphas : We'll pay you in silver, cash on the nail. We just need to know where the soldiers can find him...

  Annas : With no crowd around him.

  Caiaphas : Then we can't fail.

  Judas : I don't need your blood money!

  Caiaphas : Oh, that doesn't matter, our expenses our good.

  Judas : I don't want your blood money!

  Annas : But you might as well take it. We think that you should.

  Caiaphas : Think of the things you could do with that money. Choose any charity - give to the poor. We've noted your motives, we've noted your feelings. This isn't blood money, it's a fee, nothing... fee, nothing... fee, nothing more.

• Judas : You have set them all on fire. Heh! They think they've found their new messiah! And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong!
