Strange Thing Mystifying
[JUDAS]
It seems to me a strange thing, mystifying
That a man like you could waste his time
On women of her kind

[SIMON (spoken)]
Hey, cool it, man

[JUDAS]
Yes, I can understand that she amuses
But to let her kiss you and stroke your hair
That's hardly in your line

It's not that I object to her profession
But she doesn't fit in well with what you teach and say
It doesn't help us if you're inconsistent
They only need a small excuse to put us all away

[JESUS]
Who are you to criticize her?
Who are you to despise her?
Leave or leave her, let her be now
Leave or leave her, she's with me now
If your slate is clean, then you can throw stones
If your slate is not, then leave her alone!
I'm amazed that men like you
Can be so shallow, thick and slow
There is not a man among you
Who knows or cares if I come or go

[APOSTLES]
No, you're wrong, you're very wrong
No, you're wrong, you're very wrong
No, you're wrong, you're very wrong
No, you're wrong, you're very wrong

How can you say that?
How can you say that?
How can you say that?
How can you say that?

[JESUS]
Not one, not one of you!
