The author of the Gospel of Judas wasn’t against martyrdom, and he didn’t ever insult the martyrs. He said it’s one thing to die for God if you have to do that. But it’s another thing to say that’s what God wants, that this is a glorification of God.

Elaine Pagels

I still do lots of gigs where I’m the support act and people are chatting through my set, but I’ve got better at grabbing attention. I mean, my parents would play on bills with people like Judas Priest and get booed all the way through. But they stuck it out, got tough.

Teddy Thompson

We love not just Judas Priest music, but we love heavy metal and we love to get out on that stage every night and perform. It’s a joy to be able to do it.

Glenn Tipton

Judas betrayed Jesus. Lady Red betrayed John Dillinger. Those things happen.

Mr. T

There was one vampire movie that Gerard Butler was in, ‘Dracula 2000,’ and they touched on something interesting, but it only worked in the context of that particular movie, which was that the original vampire was Judas.

Amy Heckerling

What is clear is that the Gospel of Judas has joined the other spectacular discoveries that are exploding the myth of a monolithic Christianity and showing how diverse and fascinating the early Christian movement really was.

Elaine Pagels

In the Bible, there is absolutely no motivation for Judas, other than that he is sort of a 100 percent figure of evil. And it seemed to me that that was probably not the case.

Tim Rice

But this is what I want to do, and it is what I will continue doing until Judas Priest finishes, which, at the moment, I can’t see that yet. It could be three years or five years, who knows?

Glenn Tipton

The first time that I was elected I was called the Judas Iscariot of the black community because I took a stand that was inconsistent of cutting across the grain.

Tim Scott

Castro branded Rigondeaux a ‘traitor‘ and ‘Judas’ to the Cuban people.

Brin-Jonathan Butler

The Gospel of Judas is a kind of protest literature. It’s challenging leaders of the church.

Elaine Pagels

I think we all appreciate it now just how lucky we are to be in a band like Judas Priest.

Glenn Tipton

The fascination with Judas has persisted despite the fact that there is no evidence of the hard facts of his life. Even the ‘Iscariot’ attached to him may be nothing more significant than a corruption of the name of the town from which he came.

Justin Cartwright

Judas heard all Christ’s sermons.

Thomas Goodwin

It was about working with other musicians, but more than that it’s about exploring musical areas that you could never do with the band you’re in, in my case Judas Priest. You could tackle musical areas and lyrical areas that wouldn’t be appropriate for Priest.

Glenn Tipton

The Gospel of Judas really has been a surprise in many ways. For one thing, there’s no other text that suggests that Judas Iscariot was an intimate, trusted disciple, one to whom Jesus revealed the secrets of the kingdom, and that conversely, the other disciples were misunderstanding what he meant by the gospel.

Elaine Pagels

Was Judas Iscariot a figure of history? I do not think so. There is no mention of him in any source before the 8th decade.

John Shelby Spong

When a man becomes a Christian, he becomes industrious, trustworthy and prosperous. Now, if that man, when he gets all he can and saves all he can, does not give all he can, I have more hope for Judas Iscariot than for that man!

John Wesley

There’s always a spot, any time we make a new record, where I literally go back to Judas Priest and Motorhead because you have to. You have to go back and understand where this all started for you and keep reminding yourself of that.

Lzzy Hale

Writing ‘Judas: The Troubling History of the Renegade Apostle‘ must have been a difficult task because there are no facts. Judas may quite possibly never have existed at all, and if he did, the Judas kiss may not have happened.

Justin Cartwright

I know that I had not faith, unless the faith of a devil, the faith of Judas, that speculative, notional, airy shadow, which lives in the head, not in the heart. But what is this to the living, justifying faith, the faith that cleanses from sin?

John Wesley

I think Judas was a very devout religious Jewish person. He realizes that Jews had been persecuted and enslaved for thousands of years, and he wants to keep his people from going through that anymore.

Josh Young

It’ll be basically a live album, but it will also include songs, Judas Priest songs, the audience have never heard before, because we felt we wanted to give the kids something else, something they haven‘t already bought.

Glenn Tipton

What do you think Jesus would twitter, ‘Let he who is without sin cast the first stone’ or ‘Has anyone seen Judas? He was here a minute ago.’

Chris Cornell

There are right and wrong reasons for doing solo projects, and this album was done for the right reasons. At the time there was no Judas Priest and I certainly wasn’t going to hang my hat up on my musical career.

Glenn Tipton

I was in several bands before I joined Judas Priest. Being in those early unknown bands were the stepping stones, really, so I learned a lot in those short few years jumping from one band to another.

Rob Halford

Had I not done Shakespeare, Pinter, Moliere and things such as ‘Godspell’ – I played Judas in a hugely successful production before I did ‘Elm Street‘ – I’d probably be on a psychiatrist‘s couch saying: ‘Freddy ruined me.’ But I’d already done 13 movies and years of non-stop theatre.

Robert Englund

The surprising thing is when we met Judas Priest, they all recognized us. They knew our songs. They knew ‘Gimme Chocolate!’ and started dancing along with the music.
