“[Judas] is the good guy in this portrayal.”
Bart Ehrman
“It's a striking contrast with the negative portrayal of Judas as the quintessential traitor. The figure of Judas is often portrayed as the evil Jewish person who turned Jesus in to be killed.”
Marvin Meyer
“I'm proud of the way the guys put Juda back on the map. It's a tough way to lose after a good season. It's hard to find any silver lining right now, but somebody had to lose.”
Andy Werner
“And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.”

“If I could trace my origins to Judas Maccabaeus or King David, that would not add one inch to my stature. It may well be that many East European Jews are descended from Khazars, I may be one of them. Who knows? And who cares?”
Isaac Asimov
“Like Cain and Abel, Caesar and Brutus, Jesus and Judas, back stabbers do this”
