Summary“My god, I’m sick. I’ve been used and you knew all the time. God I’ll never know why you chose me.” The rock opera Jesus Christ Superstar features a torn, confused Judas Iscariot contemplating his suicide shortly after betraying Jesus Christ. These lyrics make it seem like Judas played an instrumental role in God’s plan for humanity, an idea completely counter to Christian doctrine which teaches that Judas of Iscariot was the betrayer of Jesus Christ. However, the emergence of a newly translated ancient text reveals that these lyrics could be more accurate than people realize.
