I love that this whole musical focuses on how Judas was not an evil man, just a man unsure of what position Jesus' whole "King of the Jews" thing would leave the Jews in, in the long run.
"Listen Jesus, do you care for your race?
Don't you see we must keep in our place?
We are occupied
Have you forgotten how put down we are?
I am frightened by the crowd
For we are getting much too loud
And they'll crush us if we go too far
If we go too far "
